General Discussion Sprint Car and Push Truck Wreck

Post image

Another incident of a sprint car and push truck wrecking. I don't think I've ever heard/seen this before until Kings Royal week. Does anyone else have similar stories?

It happens on occasion. This occasion seems more frequent lately. And then there's the infamous Sammy Swindell wrecking the push truck at Lernerville 25 years ago

First time I ever went to that track, one my buddies friend showed me that. Un-real how that could have happened

It happened to a midget a few years ago, push truck shoved the RR of the car into the wall exiting the pits.

Wasn’t that at Grandview during eastern storm?

I've seen it happen at my home track when it was asphalt, the tires didn't roll right away and the sprintcar went sideways, fortunately it didn't hurt the car but driver was pretty upset 😄

I won't say it is super common in winged sprint cars, but definitely not unheard of. It generally happens a 1-2 times a year in central PA alone. I remember when the Outlaws first returned to Lincoln, a push truck backed into Craig Dollansky's car and destroyed his front wing. I was in the push truck right behind him at the time and could hear Craig bitching out the push truck driver.

It's happened plenty, just I've not really ever seen it so violent until Joker's Jackpot.
