That was a nasty wreck that Pearson was in. I read somewhere they were running in the 15′s. Fast enough to qualify for the cup race…. Were there no spotters???
I sure hope the rear spoiler does it’s job. Maybe the roof/cowl flaps need a re design as well. These cars are getting airborne too often. I wish Larry Pearson a speedy recovery
