Derek-FSU Grand Am Crash???
So I'm being a couch potatoe today watching the Grand Am race at VIR and I see this nasty crash, a few minutes later they are interviewing a Derek Whitis a Mazda driver involved in the waddage, not sure if this race was live or taped but I hope everyone is OK, I will try to post up some footage of the crash if I can find it on you tube. The safety in these cars these days is amazing.

+1 but considering they were interviewing him right after the crash it seems as if he is ok

Derek Whitis' GT-R. That paint look familiar? Looks like it is him.

Wrong place, wrong time for 'ol Derek. Glad he's ok.
I didn't realize he ran ST. I thought a baller like him would be at least in GT...
