Very lucky driver. You can actually see a dark trail on the pavement going off to the right just as he starts to brake.
One thing he shouldn't have done was to immedialtely get out of the car. He should have waited until he was given to ok to get out by the corner workers, Really don't want to get hit by another car doing the same thing he did.

What happened? Did he have a blowout? He was just going down the straight.....

wow, it appears he had just a stock seat/shoulder belt. You can see how his body snapped toward the passenger seat. No way I ever hit the track without my 5-point Sabelts
Also interesting to me. My experience has been that when at a track where pros run races, the workers are absolutely top notch, and the blue/yellow flag flies really quick when liquid hits the track. It's possible it was dropped by the car immediately in front of him before they could toss the flag and warn everyone I suppose.
Really bad luck for such a spectacular track car...possibly the best there is -

Lucky boy. That was an almighty hit he took. It's hard to be an arm chair quarterback but it looked like he got on the painted part. Not sure if something other than the driver caused that
Blue/yellow flag is not debris.
