On Saturday evening June 17, 2006 during the NASCAR Busch
Series - MEIJER 300, driver JEFF FULLER #34
intentionally turned his race car in an effort to avoid hitting the driver's door of fellow race driver Jason Leffler.
Traveling at 180 MPH, the impact could have been fatal.

into the infield retaining wall at +150 MPH; "going sideways" and burst into flames
