Crisp In Pro Stock
NHRA Pro Stock Driver Ron Krisher was on a winning streak during Seattle's '05 Car Quest Auto Parts NHRA Nationals in his Chevrolet Cobalt after three holeshot wins over series great Warren Johnson, number-one qualifier Mike Thomas, and once-champ Jeg Coughlin. After beating Coughlin in the semifinal, Krisher got his foot caught under the brake pedal before the car veered into the retaining wall, and after a brief slide, caught fire. Krisher was unhurt but sadly the race car was toast.
