Top fuel dragsters always seem like they’re on the edge of either veering into the wall, flying off the track and flipping over, or all of the above and more. Despite it being a short, straight run, a lot can go wrong and frequently does…

In this race, held over the past weekend in Brainerd, MN (yes, that’s what it’s called…), drivers Monte Green and Don Kritzky both went up into the air, then rolled back down in a very spectacular manner.

Both drivers received medial attention, but of the two, Kritzky was flown to hospital for further investigations – he wasn’t seriously hurt, though.

It’s funny how nobody really gives drag racing any real attention until cars collide and burst into flames… Is it the only reason people actually watch it?

Check out the video below and replay it a few times to make sure you spot all the fiery details.
