Chuck Bown, once of Franconia and more recently doing his auto
racing out of North Carolina, had an up close and personal look at
Ricky Craven's wild Winston Cup crash last weekend at Talladega.
In fact, Bown was a little closer to the whole affair than he
would have preferred. Bown was running well in the race and was
behind the crash pack but still got caught up by one of the cars --
he's not even sure which one -- when it came sliding down off the
track. Bown's car was not badly damaged -- but was wrecked enough to
knock him off his previous pace.
Craven, after going airborne at somewhere near 190 m.p.h., was
knocked out of the race and will also miss next week's Busch Grand
National race ...
