Another wild one for Buddy Hull and the Jim Dunn Racing crew in Sonoma. In the final Funny Car session of the weekend, Buddy laid down a solid 4.09 pass before the car let go in a big way - blowing the body clean off and sending him on a high-speed ride through the sand trap. Third explosion in three races for this team (Bristol, Seattle, now Sonoma), and yet again, Buddy climbed out under his own power. These guys are taking some lumps right now, but you can’t question the grit. | Drag Illustra

He will continue to chart after his death, with "Distant Drums" fighting the Beatles' double-sided "Yellow Submarine" and "Eleanor Rigby" for the #1 spot in the UK. #rockabillyitalia | Rockabilly Italia | Facebook
