Watch A Guy Stop A Runaway Race Car With His Bare Hands-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:35

Doug Lockwood describes himself on his Twitter as a “Race Director for dirt track racing,” but a more appropriate description might be “big ball-having badass,” because he just snatched a car off a track like it was no big deal.

The fearless Lockwood body-slammed the car from the side, grabbed its wing and brought it to a standstill. He shut off the engine and walked away like a boss.

LIKE A BOSS.
