Mark Martin Almost Killed in NASCAR Race

He was leading after sitting on the pole at the 65 lap mark when he got caught up in an accident between backmarkers and slammed into the pit wall at a point where there is an opening that presented a point where hitting it directly would punch through the car like an ice pick through butter and kill you. Fortunately, he hit it BEHIND where he was sitting and, while the car was totally destroyed, he was okay. I don’t know how they’ll do it, but that track MUST change that configuration before somebody DOES get killed. The accident upset and frightened other drivers; one (Brad Keselowski) even saying, “Damn! I never saw anything like that before!” interrupting himself during an after-race interview. (The Blaze)
