Car Wrecks at the Races
The Miller Fire Department provided fire support at the Miller Speedway on Friday, May 12. I was on the crew this time so I got to watch the races this week.
Two major wrecks this week. The first happened when a car spun out on turn two and smacked into the guard rail that protects the pit area. The guardrail is made of railroad ties. The driver was OK, but the car wasn't. They were done racing for the night.
The second occurred right in front of the grandstand. The car turned sideways and rolled. It then hit the concrete wall. Not good. Luckily, the driver was OK, but I'm betting he was very sore the next day. They will have their work cut out for them in getting that car ready to race again.
No fires at either of the wrecks, but it got out blood pumping as we drove across the infield to respond.
I know it would be better if we had more pictures to accompany these reports, so I'll try to do a better job of getting some pictures.
