Why? Irwindale has a 1/8th mile dragstrip. Pomona still has the 1/4 and 1/8th strip....California speedway has a 1/4 mile strip. I wonder who said lets do it in the infield no worries you won't hit the embankment...

I saw the preview of this on TV and figured maybe it was some staged/faked thing. Doesn't look like it after seeing the video. Jeez, is that really for real? Crazy

Riggels the owners wallet is a bit lighter now...

I think maybe they should have used the strip, no doubt. Sad but Jay had me laughing in horror, wanted to cry about the car........

Wow. That is a shame. Hard to believe nobody was hurt.

They were filming for Jay's show when it happened. I would think the show's insurance would cover the damages.
