[NJ-Buckeye]

Just talked about this with my son... he asked if they canceled the race... told him the show still goes on... they would clear off the track and continue.. he's got a bewildered stare...

Got numerous friends at that race.. one is a top Goodyear official who is the one who called and told me what happened... but also relayed that the event would last longer into the night...

but another friend qualified today in the Pro Stock about 2 hours before the explosion... the euphoria at his pit was unbridled... he was holding his young son and telling him how great Dad did today...

wondering what he's thinking now... don't want to call him to ask.. because I don't want to mess up his head with finals being tomorrow... but this has to put a real dent in ones pysche... you look at your wife and kids and you're ecstatic that you qualified for the finals... but the reality of how mega-dangerous this is... plus he still had another qualifying run to see if he could move up

can't imagine how tight my ass would be for those runs

Scott's car blew up at 300 mph... he never had a chance
