Chevy BBC Achieves Orbit (Sadler Wreck Pocono 8/1/10)
 
http://www.sbnation.com/2010/8/1/160...ash-wreck-2010

Pretty much explains what happened and in the aftermath showing the car being hauled off the track they left something behind..

A Chevy engine block.

Completely separated from the chassis.

4 bolts and the bell housing sheered right off. Kinda awesome considering after all that Sadler just hauls his bum out of the car and takes a seat next to the car trying to put his head back on straight.

8/1/10 - GM achieves a world first with Elliot Sadler at the wheel when they put a Chevy Racing Block engine into orbit.. around it's host car.

Yikes! :help:

Glad he's okay.

I believe Elliot Sadler drives a Ford for Richard Petty Motorsport... Was glad to see him walk out of the care center on his own...

It would be a Ford motor. :)
