US drag car driver cheats death in spectacular crash

By Wide World of Sports
Discovery Channel street racing expert "Daddy Dave" Comstock has cheated death, escaping with a nasty concussion after a terrifying crash in his drag car "Goliath" at a recent exhibition event in Texas.
The Street Outlaws character was driving his nitrous-fed Chevy II at Amarillo Dragway when he lost control and slammed into a wall shortly after planting the accelerator.
The impact sent the Chevy hurtling into the air and into a series of heavy barrel rolls before eventually coming to a stop on its tyres.
Comstock's pit crew immediately raced to his aid, pulling him out of the vehicle before he was taken to hospital, where he underwent x-rays and brain scans.
He was lucky to escape with a serious bout of concussion, a bruised lung and heavy bruising and was left with no memory of the crash.
Comstock's wife Cassi, later posted on his Facebook page that he was "in a lot of pain, pretty banged up and (had) a serious concussion".
"He is talking but doesn't remember anything or even where he is. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and I will do my best to keep y'all updated!"
Cassi later posted a further update, revealing: "Scan came back good. He has a serious concussion, a bruised lung, and plenty of bumps and bruises.
"Still doesn't remember anything that happened. He is finally resting in his own room for at least the next 24 hours.
"We cannot thank everyone enough for the thoughts and prayers! I am thankful to have my husband alive! I', sure he will be back, just need time to heal and go from there!"
