This incident happened while Owens was qualifying for a race, the process where cars individually run the track as fast as they can and their respective times are used to determine starting position for the race. Owens was from the area and raced this track frequently in competition and practice.
Owens lost control of his car in a turn, and went up on two wheels. Sprint cars of this design (wingless) can reach ~100mph (160kmh) reliably, but he was likely going much slower. I would guess he hit the fence at approximately 40mph (65kmh), still a very hard impact in a 1200lb (550kg) vehicle. The vehicle initially hit the cement barrier with the front right tire, and flipped up, causing the top of the car to impact the cement barrier and the fence. During the initial impact the top of the car's roll cage appears to have been damaged severely, as his helmet can be seen exposed as the car rolls up the fence. the car rolls once along the fence on the way up to the apex, and an additional time on the way down. As the car slides down the fence Owen's helmet appears to be what takes the impact of the top of the cement barrier. If he wasn't dead by that point, he surely was after that. The car then lands upright on the track, the announcer accurately says "and he is over big time!", and McDonald's rolls in to help.
Yes, the small towns in the USA do sponsor their event rescue teams with fast food chains, and no they do not usually see the irony.

Don't give them a sword and then not let them use it
Or sent them to war, and then make them lose it
This is a bomb, don't want to defuse it
Death is the answer, go forth and choose it
Let us slay
Let them slay, let them slay [x3]
The lust for blood won't go away
Let us slay
Let them slay, let them slay [x3]
It is the era of calamity
And I see this with perfect clarity
And there never was an illusion of parity
I've got no time for your crippled christ
We have no need for your crippled christ
And we never lacked for your advice
We don't have to hide our genocide
They'll fear us more when they know the we don't lie
It's gone beyond hatred this time
You love death, yet call it a crime
I twist the dagger that's deep in your guts
I'll put an end to it this time
On your knees - Pray
It is your destiny
On your feet - Slay
Obedience through slavery
Don't give them a sword and then not let them use it
Or sent them to war, and then make them lose it
This is a bomb, don't want to defuse it
Death is the answer, death is the answer
Total control
We own your soul
No time for life
Time for the knife
Time for the sword
Fetus is cored
Total mutation
Necro-mutilation
The perfect life form
Born for porn
Let us slay
Let them slay, let them slay [x3]
The lust for blood won't go away
Let us slay
Let them slay, let them slay [x3]
We've got no time for your crippled christ
And we never lacked for your advice
Lie after lie, lie, lie
I do believe its almost time
The crippled christ, the crippled christ
The crippled christ, the crippled christ
The crippled christ, the crippled christ
I do believe its almost time
You're always calling for the sacrifice
And the body count is very nice
Lie after lie, lie, lie, lie
I do believe its time do die

Hey fellow WPD users!
Maybe sounds silly but I'm trying to find videos from/in the UK but searching ‘UK' brings up mostly Ukraine videos (kinda obviously), anyone have any tips for me here?
Much appreciated in advance
