Here's the report from the race:
Perhaps one of the wildest Top Fuel sessions of the year concludes after Bill Furr struggles to make it down the race track. Moments before Darrell Eakle of Fairdale, Kentucky hit the wall and went down at about 1000 ft. The bike appeared to be way out of the grove at the 330 mark as Eackle wisely clipped the throttle. After struggling to keep the bike straight, Eackle's front wheel came in contact with the retaining wall causing him to go down. The good news is that he walked off the track unassisted. Brian Johnson seemed to think that the incident may have had something to do with Eackle's Hoosier car tire. "I had a Hoosier on my bike for a few races and it almost killed me", stated Johnson.

That was one scary crash. That guy is lucky, I can't believe he walked away, but very glad he did. Incredible........
