Hank Vincent was nearing the finish line on the final elimination run when his dragster went off the pavement at Baylands Raceway Park . Traveling at a speed estimated at 170 MPH, he tried to ease the dragster back onto the track, but the car leaped into the air. It rolled end over end for about 300 feet before coming to a halt. He was pulled from the wreckage and rushed to Washington Township Hospital, but died en route.
