I can try... It seems (from the video) Arnie is still trying to make a pass with half his front fender missing, and shrapnel all over the first 5-600' of his racing surface! I am surprised he did not tear up his slicks backing up over that junk. If you watch, the track official (or perhaps it is a crewman?) tells Arnie to 'shut it off'. Thank goodness he followed their direction!
I really admire and respect Arnie a lot. He means a great deal to me (as a Poncho guy) and the last thing I believe anyone wants to see is for him to hurt himself (once again) or even worse kill a fellow racer, he is racing against.
He could 'step out of the car' and still be a force in the Pontiac community, e.g. advising folks on setups, driving, etc. As someone already stated, he doesn't have to drive to be #1 in our books (he has already achieved that).
