Tim Bell Huge Crash 2014 Continental Tire Sportscar Challange at COTA

Tim Bell, driver of the 28 Nissan, was able to walk away from a major crash during the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Circuit of the Americas on Friday. What looks to be a stuck throttle and/or no brakes at the end of the long backstraight entering Turn 12, Bell avoided other competitors vehicles before heading across the gravel trap. You can see that Bell seems to be trying to scrub off speed and luckily, knew the course well enough to then crash sideways, into the tire barrier.

Bell was able to walk away from this frightening crash.

Great job to Circuit of the Americas for a safe run-off.

My Life at Speed Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Chris Nazarenus, had a chance meeting with key executives at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1998. It would be the "Jerry McGuire" moment that would change her life forever. Although she knew nothing about motorsports at that time, the chance meeting would influence her passion for all things fast, great stories and interesting people.
