Wow, thats nuts. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong circumstance.

As for the commentators, I guess guys from overseas have been coming over here for a while to commentate races.

And the name Stu Hayner sounds familiar.

The commentators were actually from Canada, although some will say 'John' was from another planet!

John Brandt lost a wheel coming out of the pits he had a flat tire the crew blew it. it happens.

the commentors? no sea between the Dallas and Canada.
Stu Hayner long time very fine pro road race driver and 88 corvette challenge champion. happily unhurt.
