Steve Engel hit the wall head on at the top end. Just announced he is concious and alert and is going to be helicoptered out.

We were there watching, sitting as close to the finish line as possible.

He was at top speed near the finish line in the right lane. Car hooked to the lef - hard.

Went nose first into the left side wall so hard he busted about 20 foot worth of wall.

Car completed a spin, then went the rest of the way down the track, mostly sideways and upside down.

Came to a rest I believe, before getting to the new sand trap.

I described it as "disturbing." Worst crash I've ever witnessed in person.

We never did see or hear the helicopter though, so I'm not sure they really used the copter or not.

Pro Modified driver Steve Engel, of Shandon, Ohio, entered surgery Sunday morning for injuries he sustained after his car went out of control and crashed Saturday at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.

According to his family, Engel has fractures in six cervical vertebrae and damage to his spinal cord.



That sounds pretty serious to me.
