One of the cars I help fix and crew for in my spare time. This happened a few weeks ago in NJ. Surprisinly nothing was bent or broken bad. Just a toe fix, a few zip ties to stich up a huge gash in the front bumper, a hammering out of both fenders, a new headlight, undertray and lip spoiler. Got it back good enough to do the 13hr last weekend at VIR where I heard it got beat up even more lol. Gonna need alot of TLC this winter. EDIT: The hanging dirvers fender apparently happened a few laps before this incident. Apparently the blue car spun out and came across the track in front of the black car at full opposite lock. Our guy managed to hit tire on tire and get a little air. ![http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8315.sized.jpg](http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8315.sized.jpg) ![http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8316.sized.jpg](http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8316.sized.jpg) ![http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8317.sized.jpg](http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8317.sized.jpg) ![http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8318.sized.jpg](http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8318.sized.jpg) ![http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8320.sized.jpg](http://clubhousecustoms.com/albums/album65/IMG_8320.sized.jpg) Dan ---

Glad nobody was hurt. Good to see minimal damage in an accident that could have been far far worse! ---

It’s always a weird internal reaction to see a car that you’re crewing for/working on take some damage. It’s almost personal in a way. Glad to hear no one was hurt!
