yea i have no i idea sounds fishy to me but he was the only one going racing speed i think they might of had a communications problem o something.

The spotter informed Dana of the crash and Dana acknowledged he heard him. The onboard camera, which I think was on Scott Sharp's car, showed Sharp slowing down, almost to a stop, and then a flash going by, which was Paul Dana's car. The car was going 176 mph upon impact, and he hit the back of the car, probably caught the gear box/engine giving him relatively no chance of surviving. What would have been worse is if he would have smashed in midship and killed Carpenter, too.

Not much you can do at almost 200mph. He'll be missed. Atleast he more than likely didnt feel it.
