“I was getting quicker and quicker and quicker and I was braking later and later and later. It was total driver error,” Moyer explained. “It was a surreal experience. It felt like a roller-coaster ride when my car flipped.”

Despite the accident, Stephen was still able to score the best qualifying time based on individual lap time and won $15,000 for his charity of choice, “Racing For Kids”. Good cause. Great job.

“I want to apologize to the rest of the drivers for ruining everyone’s qualifying session, but I really wanted to get the money for the kids,” Moyer said.

Congratulations, Stephen!!
