MAN, sorry you guys had to see that horrific crash that killed Scott Kalitta today at Englishtown. What a tragedy and my heart and prayers go out to the deceased (Scott Kalitta) and his family and friends!

A couple of my friends went yesterday & today. They got special passes because one of them works for Sunoco.

I was invited to go but was out of town in Boston. Must of have been a pretty horrific scene when Scott crashed.

yea I watched Scott go bye and then the motor let go, huge ball of fire...right thru the sand trap into the concrete barrier. Never thinking he was killed, we left and whent back to the hotel. The next morning it was on the news he was killed. We whent back to the track and a lot of the other racers packed it in to honor Scott. I will post Pixt in a few days. Before the crash it was great, after the crash the racing whent on but there was a cloud over all of us.

None of the video shows what happened after he hit the wall. It just looked like the car got vaporized when it hit. Just terrible.
