Ryan Briscoe in his rookie year driving for Chip Ganassi Racing. Danica Patrick was sitting on the poll throughout most of the qualifying, and some real experienced drivers couldn't unseat her. Then near the end of the qualifying, Briscoe, a rookie qualified almost a full second faster than her and everyone looked at each other and said "something's up". About a half hour later all of Ganassi's cars got called to Tech, and not long after that it was announced that all of Ganassi's cars were penalized and sent to the back of the field for the next day's race. This is what happened to Ryan Briscoe early in that race. Everyone walked away unhurt, thankfully. The race was stopped for about an hour to repair the fencing that was shredded. The fix for that race and a couple of more was wiring a piece of temp chain link fence over the hole that his car made. His engine rolled down onto the lower apron. His car was destroyed, shredded...but he and everyone walked away unhurt, thankfully. After the race I and some fellas from the track (George, Allan, and Rick) walked up the embankment to inspect the new, well dented safer barrier, and parts of his car were between it and the original concrete wall, so I climbed between them and was picking up pieces of shredded Kevlar and whatever other composites they are made of and was handing them through the chain link fence to fans that wandered up to the outside barrier and were begging for them. Briscoe won the championship for Ganassi the following year, I think it was, and it happened at Chicagoland Speedway where this crash took place.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
