We initially hesitated from showing you video of the crash and death of NHRA champ Scott Kalitta after we received a tip that a video from the stands had made its way to YouTube. We decided the death of a drag racer was a rather gruesome thing to show you. Although we knew the race was being broadcast by ESPN2, we hadn’t realized it’d been replayed by “the deuce” immediately after it happened. So we figure — hey, if a mainstream sports media outlet like ESPN feels comfortable showing it, then it must be alright. Right? Yeah, we’re still not sure. But if you’re one of those people who wants to see something like this — click the play button to see the Scott Kalitta crash. [via ESPN2]
