Ryan Litt looks at the photos and video and can’t believe he walked away from the wreck.
“I had a lot of people tell me it’s the worst hit they’ve ever seen a sprint car take,” the 22-year driver from Lyons said of his recent crash at Toledo Speedway.
Litt and the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Super Sprints were in Ohio along with the International Super Modified Association for the annual Fastest Short Track Show in the World. Watch The Video Here
The day began with Litt posting one of the fastest laps in practice for either division.
Coming out of the first set of turns on his first lap, parts in the rear end separated from the rest of the car and the left rear wheel flew off, spinning Litt hard into the outside wall.
“There was no warning at all. It made a huge sound when (the back end broke off) and I didn’t have any time to react,” he said.
“It was one of the worst types of hits, too, because the driver’s side always has the smallest crush zone due to the offset of the chassis,” he said.
“It was definitely the hardest hit I have taken. It knocked the wind out of me and my left leg and my neck are a little stiff, but other than that I’m fine.”
