yep. I noticed that also, prob hit both the gas and brakes when thing got sideways, seen it happen a few times. I saw another video from the back and he was all over the place spinning the tires before it went left. all the new drivers on street tires just let them spin and try to drive it instead of letting off

He never even knew he didn't have traction.

The comments section on the video has someone saying they knew the driver, and he had a blow out of the right front tire. They say there was a mark on the track from his right front rim. Which doesn't make a lot of sense, because that would create a pull to the right... I think.

Either way, it looks like he two-footed it right into the wall. Brakes and gas. I feel bad for the guy.

He was spinning the whole time, maybe he thought he could peddle it.

Thunder Valley said there was around 15,000 ticket sales, so the numbers were exaggerated a little bit.

You forgot to include this video:

if you have ever raced on a track, it's easy to tell shen you don't have traction.

here is another video. spinning from the start, peddled it once and still spinning all the way to the wall. the berry end of the video it showed the wall and the track, I saw nothing from a rim/blown tire

Well once again, that sucks. What's the point of a no-prep event anyway? So the track is slick and they can sell more tickets? spectators hoping to see a wreck? I don't get it.

I can't tell if he lost a tire I tend to doubt it if the wheel and tire combo are stock...

But he kept trying to get back in the gas and he was killing the tires. Hard to say what happened he might have dropped some fluid too, ran over it.

Well it wasn't the "yank the wheel while changing gears crash" it was a stalled auto.

What gets me is it looks like brake and throttle at the same time. Almost like the throttle stuck. It was definitely loosing traction from the start though.
