On the TV coverage his crew chief Rahn Tobler showed the reason it blew; a valve spring keeper pulled loose and dropped a valve.
Two dollar part destroys a $60K body....all too typical.

It looks like it rung his bell pretty good! He appeared to be about 95% knocked out. His eyes were open but not much else was happening in the brain pan for a little bit. Glad he's OK.

Some brave dudes to be doing that for a living, knowing that could happen at any time - and the more you do it the more likely one of those "mishaps" could be life ending. In the 60's, many of those "mishaps" were life ending. Mike Sorokin ( driver for the Surfers ) often comes to mind.
