Tony Pedregon Critical Of NHRA Facilities Following Scott Kalitta's Fatal Crash

By Shawn Courchesne on June 22, 2008 3:01 PM | Permalink | Comments (2)

One of the NHRA's biggest stars was calling for change following the death of Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta during the running of the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals Saturday at Old Bridge Township Raceway in Englishtown, N.J.



Two-time NHRA Powerade Series Funny Car champion Tony Pedregon told ESPN that he believed the short run-off facility at Englishtown could have been at fault for the fatality.



Running at about 300 mph, Kalitta's Funny Car blew up before hitting the finish line at Englishtown then erupted into a massive fireball after hitting the end of the runoff area following the quarter-mile strip.



The 46-year old Kalitta, a 2-time Powerade Series Top Fuel champion, was pronounced dead at Old Bridge Township Hospital not long after the accident.



"Part of me is very, very sad," Pedregon said. "Part of me is very upset that over the years these cars have continued to go quicker and faster and NHRA hasn't continued to give us the real estate, whatever that formula or whatever that percentage is.



"They haven't lengthened the shutdown area of this facility. I know there are a lot of different factors, but I think that's one of the areas that probably needs to be addressed."



" . . . This is a business. It's a form of entertainment, and we take a lot of precautions. I think there's some areas that probably need to be addressed, and we'll continue to deal with them. But right now, there's probably just something tugging at our hearts and it's tough to deal with."
