At Gateway International Raceway's Sears Craftsman Nationals, 34 year old NHRA Top Fuel Driver Darrel Russel passed away from a violent tire blow out during first round eliminations. It happened just before the quarter mile mark, which took out the rear wing and the car split upon hitting the wall. He was then medivaced to a local hospital where he later passed on. His family and friends have my condolences.
