So, they built the banks up instead of digging the track in a bowl, therefore you've got big banks to fly off.

No walls except the front straight.

The T1/2 track limits are K-Rails that aren't even close to each other.

There's a wall that runs perpendicular to the direction of travel down the back straight.

There's trees easily reachable by a car off in T3/4.



Holy fuck this may be both the worst, and most real racin track in modern times. OF COURSE it's in Alabama.

I think the 3 car did that a year or two ago.

The dragstrip looks like it ends in the trees as well.

Berlin is almost the same way, except their wall starts in Turn 3 and ends just before the end of Turn 2. Guys have gone off there as well.

One of the Orange Cone's cousins just got mowed down by the 0 car, who has already spun at least 3 times in 60 laps.

This track is owned by former truck series driver, Rick Crawford, right?

I would like to point out this track is where 'Final Destination 5' filmed the racetrack scene. So I guess it's life imitating art.

Got a GWC coming with Enfinger, Brandon Jones and Josh Williams in the Top 3... Jones is known for dumping guys for the win. This might be an interesting finish.

Much better video. Car never actually flipped over, it just bounced a lot.

It's a good thing Kimmel went in on the passenger's side, not the driver's side. That would have been very bad if he'd gone in driver's side first, looking at the damage.
