Squirrel Runs In Front Of Kevin Harvick (The rest of the story.)
Deep Dixie racing ^ | 9/1/14 | Dale Hall

It wasn't the happy ending that many were originally reporting. The squirrel found his way into the great nuthouse in the sky.

"By now, most people have seen the video of the cat/squirrel which ran in front of Kevin Harvick Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He thought it was a cat at first but on closer inspection, it was obviously a squirrel. The squirrel ran across the track in Turn 3 but soon afterward, he made his way around to Turn 4 where he ultimately met his demise. That's right, there is no happy ending for this story. The squirrel died. In fact, quite a few people in turn 4 saw this event play out. Meanwhile, a lot of media outlets and Twitter sources were leading people astray when they posted that the squirrel survived. So, just to let people know that life is sometimes very tough, and for full disclosure, here are a couple of photos of the dead squirrel. May he rest in peace."

All this talk of squirrels. The real tragedy is the rampant slaughter of armadillos on hwy 71 from Ft Smith Ark to KC.

The read takes some patience, but it is well worth it.

Was it Rick Mears? Maybe - for some reason I thought it was one of the Unsers. I think it was right before Turn 3, so we're probably thinking of the same disintegrating wabbit.

There's a Youtube video out there of a road-racing circuit somewhere - in Europe, perhaps - of a white racing car (looked like 1970s vintage, perhaps) hitting a deer. The deer gets launched skyward but the camera doesn't linger to show where it landed. No visible damage to the car, either - it just knocked the deer off its hooves then punted it to the moon.

And don’t forget the deer at the old Texas World Speedway. Neil Bonnett hit one at Pocono.

Mears and Unser sr were teamMates in identical yellow cars and running together. According to what I just looked up. Big al hit the bunny first then mears. 1988
