4wheelers push starting cars

Condolances to the man's family. It's an accident that just leaves me bewildered.

I've never seen anyone start a sprint car or any other racecar with an ATV. Even all the years I've been to the Chili Bowl, I don't recall seeing someone push start a midget with an ATV. That's what pushtrucks are for. Put a piece of plywood or something on the frontend if your going to do that, but I feel they should just be used to stage a racecar not start them.

It was a accident. Similar to most could have been prevented, the man was just trying to keep things moving along. We can put fault in many places and only make people feel worse than they do. It was just a bad deal.

Condolences to the family.
