There's a look at the new safe wall that has been installed at Richmond. Practices was quite scary for a few drivers as Christian Fittipaldi spins and hits the wall.
Mike Skinner also has to go to a back up car after crashing in practice. Folks will remember that Jerry Nadeau stated the season in the U.S. Army Pontiac but a horrible accident at the .75 mile track in May eventually gave way to Skinner. And in a back up car Skinner wins his 6th career pole with a speed of 125.792 miles an hour.
