Good lord. Watching recorded Midwest race. Glad she is okay.

Car broke in half. Metal failure in the tubing? They are made to bend in the middle, maybe too much bending?
 
Alexia had pretty nasty explosion also. And a pro stocker got ugly side up.
 
Don't those dragsters have slip joints on the top tubes? Pro Stock was suspended due to the wind.
 
The most of that took 2 seconds. Started to break, up in the air and touched down in about 2 seconds, and in that time she got the chutes out BEFORE the car reached maximum height off the ground

Yeah, impressive work. Chute probably kept that from being worse.
 
Her reaction to deploy those shoots was quicker than a Mexican fly weight boxers lunch fest while trying to break a speed record of the number of hits per second on someone he hates.

Damn that girl was quick on the draw.
Great job! Great freakin job!
 
Likely the best video, after it's all over. I bet she's jittery this morning LOL. No expert, I, but jeez, looks like it simply is a massive structural failure. I'm guessing someone is looking for another chassis designer.

People are comparing this to Larry Dixon, but he did this TWICE

She said in the video it's a Schumacher chassis. I am sure they are looking at Antron and Tony's cars real close now and they are going to have to find out what happened and then fix them.
 
Don’t those cars have a sensor on them that will deploy the chutes under certain conditions?
 
From what i read she crashed and landed on Tony Stewart.....dam wrong Tony
