Yeah! That thing cut hard right hit the other wall and flipped upside down with the body landing right on top of the upside down chassis. Oh..Then went full throttle!!!

Sean was ready to enter the water box when it happened Sat. His crew chief Jeff said, we're gonna go ahead and switch lanes now. lol They had lane choice.

It was nice to see Mike Neff get his first Wally. Also the all Force final round pedalfest was fun to watch. Someone needs to tell Ashley that when the car's pointed streight at the wall, let off the gas.
