It took 15 years of clawing, but in the end, the wait and hard work was more than worth it!

Fortunately, McDowell was driving a full-bodied stock car with all the safety enhancements of the late-2000s, including the SAFER barrier, because that crash was eerily reminiscent of Gordon Smiley’s crash at Indy in 1982 when he was warming up for a qualification attempt, and Smiley’s crash was one of the most awful things ever witnessed at a race track.

From what I understand, both have road course racing backgrounds and their instinct when the car gets loose, they countersteer it but ended up resulting to hooking towards the wall.

@michaelmcdowell 2008 Texas Qualifying wreck was horrible. I thought he died. This should be labeled as NEAR-FATAL
