My father-in-law was sharing with me about the crash that Jeff Gordon was in this past weekend during the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen. The crash was pretty horrific because it’s the same kind of impact that took Dale Earnhardt from race fans at Daytona.
Sam Hornish junior had lost control of his car and then caused a chain reaction of events that sent Jeff Gordon’s 24 car directly into the wall at what appeared to be a straight, perpendicular hit to the wall. It wasn’t a glancing blow.
It’s good to see that both drivers are okay other than being a bit beat-up and bruised, with the exception of Gordon injuring his back. This was perhaps one of the worst looking crashed I’ve seen in quite awhile.
