Race Car Driver Scott Kalitta dies in fireball accident - See video here

While some people might not want to watch the video of a fatal crash that took Scott Kalitta’s life, you must also understand this is a dangerous sport and one that took an amazing drivers life. You can watch the Scott Kalitta crash video but please bare in mind this did take a mans life so you may not want to see it. ESPN recorded the live television footage that we found on YouTube, this will give some people a horrific feeling when watching the replay.

Scott Kalitta was racing at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey. This was the final round of qualifying in the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals, as we all know drag racing is a dangerous sport and his car was believed to be traveling at around 300 miles per hour at the time. It would have been impossible to save his life.

In the video you see Scott Kalitta in his funny car making a good run down the track and then at half way it bursts into flames and explodes at the end of the track, you then see a massive fireball move up into the sky. When you watch a lot of sports and more recently shows like Britain’s Got talent, the shows judges always say that it’s a lot more exciting if there is danger and if it’s not dangerous enough, the act can be boring. The judges would never want someone to get hurt, but they want to feel that there is a chance it could happen. Although this is a sport and not a dangerous art on stage, it still shows that bad things can happen and it’s very sad when they do thanks to pushing it to the limit.

You can watch the video below but be warned that you may want to turn away in parts of the video. Please feel free to leave a comment in memory of Scott Kalitta.
