I can tell you there probably wasn't anything Josh could have done. This thing happened real quick. I got too loose coming out of 4, totally my fault, I just got on it too hard too soon. While I had it turned full right and lifting, Jason Rochelle either barely touched my left front (he didn't even feel it) or the front hit a rut or bump just enough to help the car turn back right faster than I wanted it to and into the wall I went. From in my car it seemed like less than half a second between me hitting the wall and Josh hitting me. Next thing I knew Josh was over me flying through the air then end over end flipping 2/3 of the front straight. I locked them down as soon as he went over me and was cliped again by Steve Nederostek as he went by. There was something about Josh's flips that just looked violent, it wasn't smooth at all. Before this, the worst I seen was Justin's at Grandview last year, and this just looked alot worse.
I really feel bad that I was the start of this thing and that it ended with Josh hurt. The night went suddenly from one of the best nights I've had since I switched to Legends Cars to the worst. I hope those of you who run with me know that I would never do anything to wreck anyone, let alone hurt them. I just do this for fun. I keep looking back to see what I could have done different, but other than getting loose in the first place, I can't think of anything I would change. Even once I went back into the wall, I thought everyone would miss me since I was right against the wall.
Anyhow, I really hope Josh has a speedy recovery and I will personnally feel alot better when he has recovered and I see him on the track again.
