Jack Beckman crashed Friday evening during a nostalgia Funny Car match race at Sacramento Raceway according to a report on NHRA.com.

Beckman was driving Lee Jennings’ American Revolution Camaro when the classic flopper got loose, impacted the guard wall and did a slow roll.

"The car started to spin a couple of hundred feet out and I pedaled it, but it started to spin again so I plugged second gear, but it never recovered, so I stepped off," Beckman said in the NHRA.com report. "When the tires hooked back up the car started bouncing and then got up on the left tire, then the right tire, and then the left again and then turned left at the guardwall at about 50 or 60 degrees and hit the wall at about 1,000 feet. Ninety-nine times out of 100 you can get away with just lifting and this won’t happen, but this time it did. It was just an odd deal.”
