Brake-Line Failure Causes Pit Road Collision Of Anyone's Worst Nightmares
Brake-Line Failure Causes Pit Road Collision Of Anyone's Worst Nightmares-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:30

Following a brake-line failure at Pocono Raceway on Friday, ARCA Racing Series driver Gus Dean overshot his pit stall and sent two crew members airborne. The footage looks almost like something from a violent video game, and one crew member reportedly sustained a concussion in the incident.

The spin near Dean’s pit stall led him to collect his jackman and a tire changer. The tire changer, Pedro Martinez, was able to get to his feet pretty quickly after being knocked to the ground. A limping Martinez went to the infield care center on site and was released without a trip to the hospital, according to . Jackman Jon House stayed on the ground until a medical crew brought a neck brace and helped him up, later heading offsite for evaluation.

Here’s the full video of the incident:

A by on Friday evening said House “should make close to or full recovery” from a concussion and potential bleeding, and an update said he possibly has two small bleeds. House himself posted a photo on Friday in a neck brace, and there looks to be a slight smile for the camera on his face:

It wasn’t bueno, but it’ll sure make for a story to tell.

Taking Out The Pit Entry Cone = Ten Points (And A New Front Wing)
Poor Carlos Sainz Jr. Not only did he whack into the pit entry cone as he pulled into the pits, but he locked up his tires trying to slow down down to pit lane speed in time. This looked like the worst last minute pit call ever, but the upside...

What 'C-Word' Did Bubba Wallace Call Brian Scott's Wife?
Things got a tad heated — both physically and verbally — between NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers Brian Scott and Darrell Wallace Jr. on Saturday night, as the two didn’t exactly agree on how a late restart went down in the race at Kentucky Speedway. Somehow a “C-word” was involved, but...

Alexander Rossi Speeds Past F1 Teammate's Smoky Drift On The Wings Of A Bald Eagle
I know that’s not what literally happened here, but it’s been so long since we’ve had an American in Formula One — indulge me, okay? Look at this pass and tell me that the Statue of Liberty herself isn’t weeping as we speak. It’s beautiful. Rossi’s Manor Marussia teammate Will...

How The Hell Did This Happen?
How The Hell Did This Happen?
If there’s one great thing about Porsche’s numerous Carrera Cup series, it’s the close racing that comes from having everyone in the same car. For Joffrey De Narda at today’s Carrera Cup France race, perhaps it was a bit too close, as Jules Gounon’s 911 ramped right onto the roof...

Formula One's Nico Rosberg Would Like To Show You His Balls Of Steel
Silver Arrows? Perhaps Silver Huevos is a better name. Here’s Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg outbraking Williams’ Valtteri Bottas at the chicane during today’s Formula One Japanese Grand Prix. You’re welcome. Rosberg started on pole, but was also receiving a pretty intense shoulder massage right before the start of the race. Perhaps...
