Mustang Goes Full Send! Slides Through Finish Line Completely Sideways
During the course of a race, we never know what’s going to happen. The unpredictability on any given pass is what keeps fans on edge and provides racers with the ultimate rush. It would just so happen that during this particular pass, things wouldn’t end up panning out so well for the driver of the Ford Mustang in the right lane.
As with any incident like this, it’s hard to say exactly where things went wrong. However, it would appear as if a combination of too much power and not enough traction got together in the wrong way. As the Mustang wandered toward the centerline, eventually, the tires would break loose, sending the car sideways. The machine did manage to make it all the way to the finish line. However, the nose would be pointed toward the wall which obviously isn’t the best-case scenario.
After contacting the wall multiple times, it looks like the driver was out and able to escape without substantial injury. The car, however, is going to need some substantial fixing in order to be able to get back out there on the track once again.
As usual, NXGonzo Video managed to put us in the best seat in the house to watch all the action unfold. Not only did he manage to grab a shot from the starting line. He also managed to include footage at the finish line. It’s not often that we see that kind of perspective of a car sliding sideways.
As far as the car’s owner, Jose Morales, NXGonzo informs us that while he’s down, he will be back! It’s always a downer to see something like this happen to a fellow racer. However, it is good to see that Jose isn’t going to let a situation like this keep him down!
