This proves that you need a rear wing to drive at 300 mph. Tony broke his leg in this incident and went on to race a few weeks later. He then won the 04, 05, and 06 championships.

  • If he would have hit that tree, Tony would have suffered the same fate that his crew chief's son, Blaine faced at Indy in 1996. Safety is an ongoing process, and crashes like these remind us all that we should always be looking for ways to make the cars safer.

  • Blaine was Allen's brother, not son. And that tree has since been removed, though the timing lights are always still a concern.

  • HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!

  • He was doing EVERY BIT of over 300 mph when the car hit the wall.. But notice how gently the cockpit bounces, and rolls (COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE VEHICLE).. God was DEFINATELY watching over him, and keeping him safe...

  • @phillyfn1 Well he did get more than a bruise, He broke his left leg and had some very slight head injuries. But for what happened and how violent that crash was....he was very lucky. He did however have another crash at Memphis in 2003 where the chassis broke but he did walk away unhurt in that deal

  • The tree by side of a track could be fatal. Kinetic energy by this example must be dispersed not blocked. If Tony would have hit to stationar object like tree he would be in mortuary. I respect Tony because he has iron will. May live in health and happines.

  • he was at my school today and he said that he didnt get a bruise from that crash lol u guys are retatrded

  • i'm surprised he's still alive

  • memphis tigers suck

  • Tony is a good guy...he can't stop to say hello to every single goober that wants to chat. Let's say you were really talented working at the drive thru(guessing not)...wouldn't you get pissed if some dork kept poking his head through the door to ask if you could sign his hat...especially if you've got a customer at the window!?

  • he doesnt win to much, he has is bad days just like everyone else, someone who wins to much is greg anderson -.-
