    A 2nd crash wall to keep a car which has mounted the 1st crash wall out of the stands. Picture Brandon Bernstien at E-town 2003 except with a stuck throtte.

    Blaine Johnson died at the 1996 US Nationals i think. The same year that this video was taken. Blaine’s wreck is on You Tube somewhere? I’ve seen it a couple of times. I believe his tire blew on the top end.

    I was at this event. It was pretty impressive to see Scott flip like that. We visited his trailer afterward, and my dad, a drag racer himself, asked why he stayed on the throttle, even after he flipped.

    He told my father,. ” I knew Blaine smoked his tires, I was trying to win the race!”

    Scott was a true racer, He and Blaine will be missed.

    i didnt say F1, i said formula cars. he has announced for formula mazda and im sure some other types of formula racing i didnt see.

    though Ive never seen Ralph Sheheen announce F-1 as Canon39 says, I have seen him announce in all those other sports Canon mentioned, plus one more: He got his start working for TNN on their ASA stock car coverage.

  17. jrm111881 say:

    This was a live show. Steve Evans was never in the booth for live shows; he was always at the end of the track to talk to drivers on live shows. I remember watching this. It was Ralph Sheheen in the booth, Bob Frey on the starting line, and Steve Evans at the far end.
