NASCAR Catch Fence Lives Up To Its Name
NASCAR Catch Fence Lives Up To Its Name-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:12

The catch fencing at Homestead-Miami Speedway did its job before today’s Cup race, successfully catching a skydiver’s parachute, much to the chagrin of the skydiver.

Everyone made it out alright, though fans report that it looked more than a little sketch in person. The Skydiver missed his mark, to say the least.

This is why I don’t jump out of planes.
