NHRA driver Larry Dixon walked away after his car broke in half and both pieces flew into the air on Saturday.
Thankfully, Dixon's cockpit landed right-side up when it hit the ground.
“For sure the front-half failed,” Dixon told the Florida Times-Union. “We’re figuring it has 60-70 runs on it. It’s not like it’s got a lot of runs on it. It shouldn’t have done that. There’s no rhyme or reason for it.
“You just got to wait to land. It ain’t good for your insides when you get tumbling like that. Everything did its job. My car’s a mess but I’m here.”
Dixon, 48, said his back and knee were a bit sore, but otherwise he was fine.
