Kimbrow was also 2nd with 966-TE in 1/8 qualifying. In the final with 6 minutes to go a radio-glitch destroyed his car at the end of the straigth.

Kimbrow reports:
Unfortunately, this is whats left of my body after a radio problem in the 1/8 final. Car went through the backstraight wall at full throttle. Was shaping up to be a great finish..... Swauger was 5 seconds ahead of me with 6 minutes to go. He had 2 pit stops left to the finish and i only had one.......

The wood goes all the way down the inside on the body and then comes back out the rear side fin!!!!
