Steve Kent had a little more excitement than he cared for during Comp final eliminations at the Auto Club NHRA Finals in Pomona, Ca.

The veteran Comp racer lost control of his car and it did a slow roll and caught fire before impacting the opposite retaining wall.

“The car got loose in the center, I lifted and then it planted and made a right turn,” Kent explained. “I was along for the ride at that point.”

Kent was uninjured in the mishap.

Steve Kent had a little more excitement than he cared for during Comp final eliminations at the Auto Club NHRA Finals in Pomona, Ca.

The veteran Comp racer lost control of his car and it did a slow roll and caught fire before impacting the opposite retaining wall.

“The car got loose in the center, I lifted and then it planted and made a right turn,” Kent explained. “I was along for the ride at that point.”

Kent was uninjured in the mishap.

“About the only thing it hurt was my feelings and the wallet,” Kent admitted, adding. “I will be back.”

He’s already made plans to return and revealed he’ll have two cars next season. Kent will make his Pro Stock debut in addition to putting in some time racing Comp.

Ironically, his time in Comp will be with the same car he crashed on Sunday.

“The car is on its way to Jerry Haas’ shop already,” Kent said.
