It was a frightening moment when we saw Ron Fleming driving the Hunsaker Racing race car losing control at the finish line with top speed, and crashing into the guardrail so hard. Thank God, Ron Fleming walked away, but he got some minor injuries.

So Happy you are OK Ron.
Legend….glad he was able to walk away..๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Whew! I do not like watching crashes. So glad Ron is OK.
Scary good to see he's ok
That was a hard hit at high speed! So glad you're OK Ron! You're gonna definitely feel that one the next morning!
Glad he walked away but we don't need to loose such an incredible and iconic figure of a man.
I wish I knew just a quarter of the knowledge he holds.
Crashes are always scary๐ฉ๐ช
Ron, Iโm glad your ok, cars are just stuff, they can be fixed or replaced but you canโt. PTL your ok.
As others mentioned, undoubtedly the cross/tail wind was the cause. Check out the flag pole at the beginning of the vid in the background of the burnout. I remember the NHRA cancelling the last round or 2 of PS a few years back due to unfavorable winds but of course only after a couple of cars had crashed and others had near misses.
Ron , im glad your ok , and your sense of humor survived too , pretty good cross wind
tough ol chunk o coal
Almost lost a legend ,so glad you made it.
WOW! Glad he is ok.
Boy, it was very windy there. The wind may have been part of the problem.
Ron is a Superman! His whole attitude was pure Professional. He has raced for many years and knows the ups and downs better than most everyone. Glad you are ok.
The car did its job.๐
wow wow im just glade rons ok wow
Wow amazing he came out of that like nothing happened! Serious cage and seat too I guess. Dang Ron wild ride!
Lo siento mucho Ron saludos desde PR๐ต๐ท
Thank God there was no fire as I doubt Daisy Duke in her ridiculous leather stripper boots or anybody else on the rescue crew in flip flops and shorts would have been much help had it ignited.๐ค๐ค
What kind of race track is that?
What a class A individual
So glad he's ok ๐
By the way, great coverage on this, to who filmed this ๐
WOW one hell of a crash……hitting the wall at that speed OMG then I am not sure how many times it rolled…..Ron at his age to walk out of there was pretty lucky. YIKES…..glad you made it Ron. Even the engine got ripped out of the car….but the cage did its job.
Glad you're ok Ron!!!!
When you get that motor back together my Super Street car is sitting in my trailer…
i was having a conversation with a guy and i heard a loud noise and then i saw a car door rise above the motor home behind his head, then i saw the back end of a car fly up so yes, probably 10 feet in the air. i knew it was bad and was relieved when I saw him get out
Thank god Ron was okay! Kudos to the roll cage builder.
I know he's a cool dude you know he loves Volkswagens work for fat and all that but I'm just saying when you get older you need to be careful cuz an accident like that could just end your life and you'll have a lot more broken hearts than if he was just hanging out in the pits when you get older you need to decide when you're going to stop racing before it's too late it's not that important if it's going to cost you your life
So glad he is safe ,
Men of steel and true grit. Glad heโs ok. I wonder if they will rebuild that bug.
And He walks away ๐๐๐๐๐
Ron is Great! Super glad he is ok. Such a cool dude. He handled a tough situation like a true legend.
I think it's time for him to retire that way he doesn't turn spending money and wasting money time to retire my friend lol …..
Builder did his his job well! From all of us at Cookerโs over here on the right coast, glad youโre ok Ron!!!! โค๏ธ
Without the Cave Ron would be an Angel now.
