That makes sense, because from my perspective anyway, there was no apparent reason for the truck to loose control so abruptly. I could tell they were traveling much faster than the prior cars, seemed more like a trophy truck, but it appeared to happen on a straightaway.

Something went wrong and the truck suddenly left the course:



It did a complete roll and landed back on it's tires:













I was able to talk to the drivers immediately after, and fortunately neither of them were injured (They were going VERY fast). I don't think the same could be said about the truck though:





THE ROLL-OVER RACER GOT SECOND PLACE!!!
