DI.com Video: Lesenko’s Big Boomer at Pomona

[media url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gakKYv3Rkg&t=3m45s”]

Incredible footage from the NHRA/ESPN2 cameras of Todd Lesenko’s explosion during third-round qualifying for the Auto Club NHRA Finals at Pomona, CA. Make sure to expand the video to “full screen” for maximum impact! A great driving job by Lesenko, but after two similar body-shredding blowups at Indy we’re sure he’s had enough of the experience by now.
