The video clearly shows the ONE container of race fuel appears to have come through this unscathed. Stupid sensationalizing media.

Boy thats a horrible situation. I hope the Folk's have some insurance to cover the loss. Thats alot of expensive equipment damaged in the acident. The trailer and contents were completely destroyed and it looks like the toter was heavily damaged as well. That was all first class equipment.

Glad to hear that all of their crew and family on board are OK.

Sensationalism, how about falsification of the facts. The reporter stated that the race "trailer was carrying enough race fuel to cause this fireball" as it was showing the burning cab of a the semi in front of Folk's rig. How did race fuel cause that "fireball" some 70 feet away in front of the scene. Oh, them news people always get the facts right. HA.

Also did not see the semi that was supposed to cause this accident, which reportedly hit a pick up, then a van, then the Folk RV, and then the other semi.

Really glad that the Folk's and friends are OK.

You have to feel bad for the family of the person driving
The pickup. Just driving down the road and gets rearended. Was the truck driver txting¿???? We all drive down the road and as you get older for me scare me to death what could happen. 2010 going to Bowling Green had a 18 wheeler move over at Ky/TN I65.Thanks for the man above I didn't hit him.
Glad that the Folks are OK.
