holy cow!!!!!! Mario was testing for Kanaan and when he went around the turn he hit something that launched the car nose up into the air. the car lifts about 20 feet into the air and then flips 2 times and lands on what is left of his tyres. He walked away  Channel 13 in indianapolis has a video of it. I am watching it maybe they will have a feed for you all to see. |

Debris all over the track.  That should not happen, can you imagine if Mario had been hurt. What a cool guy.  |

it looked like just a bit a kitty litter that launched him. the Yellow caots would never send a car out with a piece of a car on the track.

It must have been a pretty big mound of oildry then to launch the front end of the car. |
