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.
