Kevin Chapman walked away from a fiery accident during the recently-completed FIA Main Event race at Santa Pod Raceway. Chapman’s Funny Car ricocheted off both track walls and erupted in flames as it came to a stop upside down. He was uninjured.

Chapman was competing in round two of Santa Pod’s Funny Car Cup series, having won the opening round at Easter. The Bury St. Edmunds racer had won the series title in 2019. His Ford Mustang-bodied Funny Car carried the colours of Thermoreg International, a thermostatic industrial valve manufacturer.
