He said:
“So they start to play it and so I’m driving, I’m looking through the window net and I’m looking and seeing him turn and start to flip and I’m like ‘Oh wow he got some good air. Oh no!’ I mean as soon as his car hit the grass, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one have that many rotations in the air."
He stated why Preece's car rolled so many times before coming to a halt.
He said:
"It was going airborn way before grass. The grass made it bite and thats when it caused it to twirl in the air."
