Miraculously, no one was injured as No. 8 qualifier Jeff Rogers' Executioner '04 Mustang detonated on the starting line as he prepared to race Pro Mod Nitrous rival Robert Nicola during the Shakedown at E'town event on Sunday in Englishtown, NJ.

Photographer Dave DeAngelis captured this incredible photo of the incident.

Rogers' car revved up and smoke floated from the hood scoop seconds before the nitrous explosion shook the windows in the tower and sprayed shrapnel in all directions. Nicola made a smooth solo pass and earned lane choice for Round 2 against top qualifier Steve Cossis.
