Rest in Peace Scott Kalitta
Scott Kalitta, a two time NHRA Top Fuel champion during the 90’s, was killed during a qualifying run yesterday at Englishtown. After crossing the finish line his engine exploded, engulfing his car in a quick burst of flames and incinerating his chutes. His car hit the end of the track at an estimated 300+mph. Upon impact, there was a second explosion. While it is being reported that Scott was later pronounced dead at a hospital, witnesses are certain he did not survive the initial engine explosion.
