Sammy was on the second of his time trial laps and was looking at the scoreboard in the infield,to see his times. At Lernerville when a car completes his first lap we push the next car out so we have a car continuously on the clock. I believe it was Tim Shaffer that was being pushed off and his car wouldn't fire till about 1/2-2/3 of the way down the front straight. The pushtruck didn't have time to get off the track and since Sammy wasn't watching where he was going he plowed directly into the rear of the truck. He never left off the throttle and said he never saw the truck. It was a 1/2 ton Ford and on inpact the rear bumper was over the steering wheel. The bumper went right over the top of the engine and took off the injecters, bent the down tubes back into the cockpit and pretty much destoyed the front of his car. The pushtruck is junk! The bed is buckled the rear end was torn loose and the frame must have twisted pretty bad because the radiator blew. The passenger in the truck is supposedly 5-6 months pregnant. Sammy's car stopped dead on impact and the pushtruck probably slid about 75 yards. I can't believe Sammy walked away from it. I really thought he was dead.
