Yep, thats it!! I was standing near the fence at half track when it happened.

From the Startingline it looked almost as bad as Capps from Dallas a few years back. But from the finishline cam it didn't look that bad at all IMO. Not like his Boomer at Maplegrove, that was Nasty!

Nasty explosion for sure. Did anyone else catch the track workers running for their life after the explosion. I always thought those guys were nuts to stand along the track as the cars thundered by anyways.

I noticed that,too. I'm glad Del is O.K.!!!!!

The view from the starting line was even more impressive than the shots from the top end of the track. From the front you could see the blower pop and the front of the body open up to let the 300 mph airflow explode the rest of the body. From the rear, all you saw was the body suddenly explode, sending pieces in every direction. The engine damage was really relatively minor, but air pressure grenaded the body.

Anyone see how much the car bounced around after the explosion?! Hell of a driving job id say...

That one even made the AP.

They did end up fixing the Mt. Dew body, and believe it or not, that was the EXACT body that Del blew up in 2003 at Reading! There was NO fixing it after that though!
