Whit's post-race press release said the fire was as bad as any he's had and the brake line burned through, so he had no brakes. When he stood up through the hatch, he could see he was going to hit the wall, didn't want any part of that action when he was unbuckled and bailed out. Said he's bruised, but otherwise okay. That car probably won't be making any test laps in the next couple days - will get an update tomorrow (I'll be covering the Tuesday test session for Drag Race Central).

I wonder if he thought "If I'm not driving this car...nobody is!!!!!! Kamakazi!!!"

Just kidding, I'm glad he's just bruised. He's my guy! I hope he's back with Shue next year, if not with Shue, at least in a dodge.

Watch the NHRA fine Whit for leaving his car while still moving.

Didn't they make a big deal about this earlier this year about someone (I think it was Capps) unbuckling prior to coming to a complete stop?

makes you wonder, seems like the 'testing' deal was struck between
Don and Jack; will be interesting to follow, especially if it's about licensing.
