[thatkid780]

[nluc1]

ok so how the fuck did he die this is sooooooooooo confusing

[BraedenBru11]

@nluc1 the pressure tank landed on him

[seaninternational]

He was actually the father of Trent Owens who is the crew chief of the #32 Turner Motorsports Chevy in the Nationwide Series..Trent would have been a few months old when this happened.

[JDeguara]

Did he die from the explosion or getting hit on the way down?

[TheVictorry]

[1v1oCODoStatus]

[olechevy]

Randy Owens also was lead singer for Alabama. So my guess is he "faked" his death like Elvis. Good day !

[LiveforChrist999]

@olechevy Alabama was the '80s.Wrong Randy Owens.

[BlueBlazer89]

@olechevy faked his death ? lol elvis died on his toilet like a fucking fatass embarrasment that he is

[rasmann36]

Not really, he died when his wife came over and bitch slapped his ass for losing the race!

Randy Owens, 18, brother-in-law of all-time NASCAR victory leader Richard Petty, is killed during the Winston 500 when a water tank explodes in Petty’s pit area. Owens, a member of the crew, had been watching the race from a spot nearby. He dies instantly.

[mw2masterful]

i didnt see who got hit

[TigerNrOne]

Where is the missing part in the video?

[WillHapgood2]

Please can someone explain to me what happened? I don't have a clue.

[Topera151]

@WillHapgood2 The pressure tank exploded and launched itself into the air. Then it fell on a member of the pit crew, killing him.

[dmbbf5]

there were tragedies at both 'Dega races that year, the next one in August saw a multicar accident kill Tiny Lund.

[BSNFabricating]

@dmbbf5

The August race was also the one where Dick Brooks had that big wreck on the back straightaway. Fortunately he walked away afterwards.

[lassehag]

what was that?

[RacingAccidents]

The pressure tank that exploded.

[NASCARsmNut]

@RacingAccidents So it just flew from the sky, or what?

[RacingAccidents]

Actually the pressure tank exploded with such force that it sent the tank up well over 50 feet into the air.  It was just falling back down.

[NASCARsmNut]

@RacingAccidents That's what I thought.

[adikf1nascar]

@RacingAccidents GO went? STRANGE He already went out

[STP43FAN1]

@RacingAccidents That tank nearly landed on Richard and Maurice.
