I will just say - how many of you have ever driven a direct drive car with no flywheel or clutch or starter?

Wise up - you can not put the clutch in and roll to a stop - you have to shut it off - One thing some of the local friends like is they get to be push cars.

During a yellow they are probably still going 50 mph.

TS could not see him because the car in front of him nearly hit him.

He gassed it to spin away from him - watch the video and look at where TS front tires are pointed

Don't get out of your car until the safety crew gets there - especially in a sprint car race where THEY DO NOT STOP the cars unless there is a terrible accident - this was not a terrible accident until the idiot got killed.
