Horrifying Crash Takes Ivedent Loyd Out Of Race

I spoke with some friends of Ivedent Loyd before the race Saturday night at 441 Speedway and told them I was a fan and wished him well during the race.  "Well" wasn't the way the race went for him.  He was running in third position early into the race when his throttle stuck.  He was propelled off the end of the track and his car rammed into the concrete retaining wall.  It was really scary for anyone who saw it.  Mr. Willis Wombles was standing next to me as I was filming the race.  Now, Mr. Wombles has been involved in racing for a long time and he has seen an awful lot.  His concern for Ivedent's safety was apparent in his reaction.  It took a little while for the announcement to be made that all was well and a collective sigh of relief was made by the crowd.  It had a lot of us seasoned racegoers holding our breathe.  It was just that scary.  Check out the video and judge for yourself.
