What kind of transmission was it? You don’t see them exploding very often. Thankfully.

Looks most likely like a TH35O intermediate sprag failure causing a drum explosion.
TH 400 will fail the same way, but not as common.

OMG, was there a shield or blanket for protection?

So glad the S-10 didn`t get into the bike rider!

Not sure and I think not required as it was not a 10.99 or quicker car.

Some first round finish line shots....

Cool pics! Fun to see racers from other tracks!

It was a mopar so probably 904 or 727

Tough day for the mopars. Thats a Dakota hitting the wall and a dart or demon with the tranny explosion. That’s why they make us run blankets or shields. Any word on the driver, you know his foot was on that gas pedal.

Truck looked like an S-10 to me, however I wasn't there.

Truck was an s-10
And the mopar trans issue guy was in burnout box. Got out of car fine. Should have Rattled him a bit
