Veteran Pro Modified racer Charles Carpenter was involved in a high-speed accident Saturday afternoon during the first round of Pro Nitrous eliminations of the ADRL Safety-Kleen Dragpalooza V when he lost control of his 1955 Chevy and made contact with the retaining wall in the Houston Raceway Park shutdown area.

Carpenter had exited the car by the time ADRL safety crews arrived.

His 1955 Chevy got loose towards the finish line as he defeated Ed Burnley. The car then impacted the wall and he rode the wall on two wheels for about 100 feet before returning all four wheels to the ground.

Carpenter appeared shaken but uninjured. He is being evaluated at this time by medical personnel.
