Does anyone know who the front engine top fueler that went into the wall at 131 motorsports park was? They said he got out and was ok but I did not catch his name. I was also looking for Ben Amling but I don't know if he was there, any help?

From what I saw it will need a new front, engine forward.

Correct, Bandshift was doing a live steam with Chad Reynolds.
I had a buddy that was crewing on another NTF car tell me it needed front halved. That is all I really know.
