Not the madman you guys are thinking about. It was Frankie "Madman" Taylor. He left the line, spun the tires about 60ft out and hit both the left and right walls. He is fine and I am sure the car can be fixed. We were in line 2 cars behind him. Pretty nasty but he was looking over the car right after our pass. I think they took the car back to the shop to inspect the actual damage.

Thanks,
Amber

The motor is coming out tonight and they're headed to Jeffers Pro Cars tomorrow to get it fixed before ADRL Houston. Frankie is okay.

Oh o.k. I thought it was frank not Brian.Thats why I asked what body style it was.I got a call about a c5 hitting the wall and they said it was a pro mod car.. Thats got to be a 30,000 dollar mistake.
