A local "properly funded" Modified racer decided it was time for him to run with the big dogs at Stafford Springs,CT. He hit the wall, and tore off the right front. Then ground along the front stretch wall, to the flag stand. Just as it stops, the previously detached wheel/tire comes bouncing along, and hits square in the back!
