Probably should have raced a biplane, or a hot air balloon, instead...

If I’ve read this correctly an unrelated explosion occurred ahead of his course and he drove through it (unavoidable at 300 mph I suppose) caught fire and then the truck blew up.

The Truck didn’t “Explode”.
It looks like a typical drag racing end-swap rollover crash.
The Explosion was a pyrotechnic that had nothing to do with the crash.

This is what a Shockwave jet truck looks like.
What could possibly go wrong?

C’mon, man. “Top Gun: Maverick” showed me that you can survive a Mach 10 breakup of your vehicle and get to the coffee shop. How can he NOT survive a 300 mph crash?

Witnesses say the Shockwave jet truck was racing two planes that were going 300 mph. When the driver deployed his parachute, the truck reportedly engulfed in flames and a large plume of black smoke.
‘[The driver] was doing his show and going down the runway,’ Suze Gusching, media relations for Field of Flight told the Battle Creek Enquirer. ‘He passed by the explosion, and his truck had exploded.’

Looks like he was concerned about a short shutdown and got on the binders a bit too much before the chutes had him stabilized. Very sad.
For a vehicle that size and speed I would have expected larger chutes, though.
The flames are nominal when they cut jets from full power, not a factor.

Looks like he popped the chutes before the engines were shut off and they went up in flames and he lost control at speed. The explosion in front of him was well out of the way off to the side of the track and was part of the pyrotechnic display at the air show.

Video of the incident shows a large explosion happening right before the truck barreled into it. As the vehicle came flying out of the other side, it significantly slowed and was covered in thick smoke. BS. The author of the DM article obviously didn't watch the video.
Tragic.
