Tennessee’ s Heath Littrell showed the world exactly what can happen when a turbocharger is pushed past its limit as the impeller rips a hole through the front clip in the Outkast Motorsports“ Grimace” Mustang. It happened shortly after launching during the first N / T shakedown session at Duck X Productions’ Summit Racing Equipment Lights Out 17 – Radial Revolution. Clips of the incident, and photos like this one, quickly went viral on social media. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident, and Littrell and his team repaired the damage to continue racing.
