      Typical in short track racing, what ive been told by my pit crew is that if you can make it around the track, you keep going. It's a great feeling getting back out after a wreck, though i race shitboxes and i feel bad for Derek because he didnt want to damage the truck, but hey, you do what you can with what you got.

      Here's a fun fact...
      Those fords often have fuel pump kill switches that are triggered by impacts. Even if he hadn't have killed it, the thing would have probably shut off on it's own. I know this because my dad's 05 ranger had it.
      And I remember ending up on the side of the road many times because of that damn impact shutoff failing and tripping when it didn't need to trip.
