So that's how you can spend $10g's a second! It's good to hear the driver is OK.

Glad the driver is OK. Such a shame to see any car wrecked though. Any idea what caused the crash?

Severe tire shake - there was air under both rear tires, then the left tire found some traction and the driver didn't get out of the throttle quickly enough. The first impact shifted the body, may have jammed the throttle linkage open because it went all the way across the track and hit the opposite wall a ton, knocking the body halfway off the chassis. The whole thing took place before the 330-foot marker.
