What time did it happen today, I am not trying to be insensitive, but I know that they were playing "The top 10 NHRA crashes" on ESPN2 today.

Sometime this afternoon. ESPN2 dedicated their coverage of qualifications to his life. They replayed the footage of his accident and it was pretty horrific. He never had a chance. A very sad day.

If there is any silver lining, he died doing what he loved to do ...

Just saw it on FoxNews. Pretty horrific crash, I'm amazed he survived it. They said he died at the hospital afterwards. Must've been a tough kid. Sad all around.

I can't believe we haven't heard any comforting words from Albie on this.
