I was actually down there that weekend, but for the Cup race, Bush didn't really interest me at the time, so we weren't at the track when that happened. That and I had to bribe the then fiancé so she would go, I went antiquing Saturday so she would tolerate the race on Sunday. She probably would've enjoyed the races more if not for the drunk rednecks, I can say that because I were one

How the heck did he survive that? I know a little bit about NASCAR and I once use to race it on the early versions of NASCAR on the computer. EA Sports I think it was. I remember Bristol was a small tight track with relatively slow speeds. I imagine at any other track the outcome would have been far worse.
Mickstix:
Oh yea, I remember it! How did he survive? Gods grace and luck.. Bristol had at least one other similar crash in that spot, due to the gate that allows haulers into the track.. He hit it at exactly the spot where it opened and it tore his car in half. I haven't watched the youtube, but iirc you can see his legs touching the asphalt after the crash.. Any number of roll bars, fence posts, etc. could of easily pierced him and killed him instantly.. And Bristol with it's 30+ degree banking is the fastest half mile race track in the world, as far as I know. Easily going over 100mph coming off the corners. You want to get a feel for how fast these cars are going, go to a local 3/8 mile short track (with far less banking) and see how fast they're going!! With the smell of racing fuel and the sound of a racing V8, it's nearly impossible to attend a live stock car race (anywhere) and not instantly become a fan! :uh-huh:

that was early in his career too, might explain why he's a bit of a nut

I've read Koontz, and if I recall correctly it was about alien spores coating and covering and infecting humans.
He likes this type of thing.
