TWS Saturday National Race 30709 - SRF spin/wreck

SRF National, Texas World Speedway, 3/7/09. I started on outside pole, got hung out to dry on the start (draft). After pushing the 54 by the 10 going into T1 on the second lap, the 54 looped it coming off the banking. In speaking with him after the race, he had no idea what caused him to spin. I spun to avoid the T-bone, mild carnage ensued, I DNF'd with a wrecked radiator. Fortunately the 30+ cars behind all missed us as they filed through (you can see the 10 t-bone me lightly as I leave the track surface). The spin happened at about 116MPH.
