3/4 mile mark he was prolly doing 200+ mph.
As for rebuilding, not likely in that car. Not much can be salvaged from it. Extreme heat like that with impact creates stress fractures within the metal structure. So even if that straight section of tubing looks alright, there's a very good chance it'll snap and impale something upon impact.

I was there this past weekend and watched it happen. The very worse part about this whole deal is them making a decision to run the car 30 minutes after the last car ran down the mile. Everything was finished for the day and the ambulance left the track 10 minutes before this happened. There were no EMS at the track when the wreck happened. Only the local police officers. The "side skirt" on the passenger side was flapping in the wind a good foot away from the car when he passed the 1/4 mile mark.
