Preece, who races at Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing, said he was very grateful that he came out of just as good as he was. (I bet, Eeks!)

“Yeah, I don’t know if it’s a diffuser or if these cars are made like plywood when you go out on a windy day,” Preece said. Around Fox Sports.
“But when the car took off like that, it really became quiet. I’m lucky enough to leave because it was my daughter that I was thinking, but we can’t. I’m so grateful because I’m really close to people.”

I couldn’t even imagine the level of fear that Ryan Place felt while he was bounceing the air. As my own dad, it hit me.
Holy Hell, this was scary, so I’m glad that everything was fine.
