I'm hearing both drugs and alcohol. He almost hit a car on the return road. Can you imagine the carnage had he not hit the barrier? I HATE drunks and dopers. I used to be one, haven't had a drink in 20 years. They are responsible for more pain and suffering of innocent people than any other group. Use some self discipline, moron. I hope he's locked up for a long, long time.

How did he get on the track? Was he a racer, a spectator, or from outside?

Too bad he wasn't DRT. Lot's of money wasted on Life Flight and ER. Thankful that no one else was hurt or their stuff torn up.

Thunder Valley in Red Springs, NC, is the same way. A little dirt mound that'll basically just launch you across the 4' chain link fence, small ditch, then across the 2 lane road and into the pine trees, lol.

At national trail they actually close a rode down to extend the shutdown when the fuel cars are running. I have raced at lots of tracks and national trail was in my top 2 of bad shut down areas. I am spoiled here at home with 1/2 mile that is uphill.

At Columbus (national trails) they would have guys (security) standing on the road during the nitro classes to stop traffic so cars could fly across the road into a field if they couldn’t get stopped.

Oliver faces charges of driving under the influence, eight counts of aggravated assault and open container. Since it isn`t a public road or highway can he get charged with speeding? They better throw the book at him.

Maple Grove. I remember one year, Kenny Bernstein went out the end, across the road, out into the sandbox, on fire.

A local funny car racer D.A.Santuci in his black magic funny car went off the track at Columbus went he swallowed his gum because of wheel hop, passed out and set the woods or field on fire.

Guess he was wrong. While this was the initial report I read later that he was a spectator that drove down the return road to get to the end of the strip. It said he actually had some kids with him (age unknown) who had the smarts to find another way home and had just left.
