Sad day for NHRA

Don't know if anyone follows NHRA racing or not, but, here is a sad happening from this weekends races. Darrell Russell, driver for Joe Amato, was killed in a race on Sunday.
I haven't seen the footage, but hear it was bad. One of his rear tires exploded and the roll-cage part of the dragster didn't come away from the rest of the car. They say he was knocked out from something hitting him, but they thought as of last night (Sunday) his neck was broke.

I don't follow these things, but a death is always sad.

I actually saw that as it happened, (not sure it was real time though) on ESPN2. What a terrible crash...
