That was some big time air.

Glad he got out and walked away, he was definitely way up there. Looked a lot higher from where I was sitting, but he was still way up there.

Looks like the left front climbed one of the planted tires...

Eric was down low and indeed catch a tire. There has been at least 3 destroyed sprint cars ( I'm talking completely used up) this year at Bloomington, just hope this settles down before we get someone seriously hurt.

I was told they filled the infield tires with concrete?? If that is true, they should be dug up and changed. No wonder three cars have flipped off of them in just two races....that track is too narrow to make it even tougher to drive by concreting the marker tires!! wow
