It was an eventful night at Big Jake’s Promotions No Time 275 race, where Todd Fullone, behind the wheel of his stunning 2018 Lexus known as Sir Vincent, found himself in an unfortunate situation. During a high-horsepower pass, his car lost a tire, sending him into the wall. While the crash was unfortunate, the good news is that Todd is okay, and the car will be back on the track soon.

What Went Wrong?
From reports and available footage, it looks like Todd’s car suffered a tire failure mid-run. Losing a tire in a 4,000+ horsepower machine on a small tire setup is no small issue. Unlike big tire setups where drivers might have a chance to recover, a radial tire failure at high speeds often results in disaster. To make matters worse, the race took place at night on a cold track, a recipe for traction issues and crashes.
Once the tire went, Todd’s car veered left, then right, before making contact with the wall. Damage reports suggest the rear quarter panel, front end, and possibly the headers took a hit, but thankfully, the chassis doesn’t seem to have sustained serious harm. If any frame damage exists, it’s reportedly minor and 100% repairable.

Criticism and Reality of Racing
Unfortunately, as with many racing incidents, some critics have taken to social media to blame Todd for the wreck. But let’s be real—anyone who has driven a high-horsepower car on a radial tire knows just how unforgiving they can be. When something goes wrong, there’s often no saving it.
Todd is a relatively new driver in the scene, but he’s already proving himself behind the wheel. And let’s not forget—many of those pointing fingers wouldn’t even step foot into a car with that much power, let alone handle it on a cold track. The reality is that accidents happen in drag racing, especially in no-prep and no-time events where conditions can be unpredictable.

What’s Next for Todd and Sir Vincent?
Despite the damage, the team is already working on repairs, and Todd has confirmed that he plans to be back in action very soon. With two major events coming up in May, the goal is to have the Lexus back in racing shape in time to compete. Given how fast and consistent Sir Vincent has been, there’s no doubt that Todd will be back to making competitive passes in no time.
Racing is about resilience, and this is just another bump in the road for Todd Fullone and his team. Keep an eye out—because Sir Vincent will be back, and they’re coming for big wins!
