  • did he qualify though?

  • Yes. He came back the next round and qualified on a last shot run but was taken out the next day in eliminations.

  • John had already lost the championship at the previous round so it wasn't that much of a problem.

  • This was qualifying on Saturday and John needed to qualify to stay in the running. He lost the Championship the following day during eliminations.

  • First guy to qualify upside down!

  • Love the Nomad driving by early in the video.

  • How many crashes has he survived all these years? Good grief. What great courage to keep on keepin on after all he and his family have been through. Keep the shiny side up

  • 0:58 for the action

  • 4 1/2 stars lol

  • about 1992 NHRA World Finals seems excessive ......it's only American sport

  • ..man ...i can remember this like it was yesterday. he actually got an e.t. out of it!!! even though he was disq. for crossing center line!!!

  • I was at that race, Force needed to set at least one national record (I think both ET & speed) win the event and have Cruz go out 1st round in order to win the championship. He was going for broke on every run. If I remember correctly that was a qualifying run.

  • Richard Petty Retires In NASCAR Back Then & Jeff Gordon Starts Racing In NASCAR Back Then As Well!!!!!

  • did he end up qualifying for the event?
