We are very thankful that the driver walked away without any injury. He was flown to the hospital for an evaluation where he was released shortly thereafter. We pulled the data from the HOLLEY EFI Dominator ECU, and there was nothing wrong with the engine or drivetrain. All signs are pointing to a wheel/tire failure. The car was traveling at 230mph when it left the track, so it would have been a spectacular run for a different reason. We’re confident it would have been in the 243-248mph range. > [@It's true](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/its-true/40676/40): > > Jdaniels said it was the dumpy SPEC clutch. JD is wrong. ---

WOW what an impressive car…shocked that the driver is unharmed. Sad to see it destroyed…watching the wreck put a giant pit in my stomach. Hope to see them come back and hit that 245mph-ish mark! ---
