CPTV BAKERSFIELD - FRIDAY'S MAYHEM MOMENTS

 

In Bakersfield, Mayhem is king.

A broken fuel line sent aspiring AA/Funny Car driver Chris Morel on the ride of his life. 

At the end of the Funny Car qualifying session, Morel was making an exhibition run when his classic Mopar made a sharp right and rolled over on the roof where it impacted the left lane retaining wall. The car, still under power, slid down the retaining wall before coming to a stop and catching fire. 

Morel was uninjured for the most part in the mishap.

"Just a little whiplash," Morel said. "I had a little fuel leak get under my tires and stuck the car sideways. There was no saving it after that."
