Tom Kendall drove in this race four years after he broke both legs very badly in a crash at Watkins Glen in 1991. It was before they put the “inner loop” chicane to slow cars at the end of the fast Back Stretch. He was driving a GTP Prototype class IMSA car and when he hit his brakes to go into turn 5 (The Outer Loop) one of his rear tires came off and he hit the barrier at high speed. I saw him a few years later in the paddock area at the Daytona 24 hour race and he could not walk on his own. He had a hot blond on each side holding him up so he would not fall.
