Your link just takes you to the DSE Build thread for this car --- and a quick check of DSE news has no mention of anything "wrong" or having happened to the car.

Greg, put your glasses on. Looks like they smashed it into a tree or something. There's pics right in the link.

I can't remember where I read it, but I believe Stacy hit a pole while racing. She was fine. Just wish I could remember where I read about it.

They posted to facebook a couple days ago:

"Thank You from Stacy Tucker

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended RTTH VII for their help and concern during my ‘incident’ on the autocross during the Top 10 Shootout. I was very excited to be 4th out of 78 cars going into the Top 10 Shootout and unfortunately had a racing incident. When any of these cars are raced, these things will happen at some time. This happened to be my time at Pigeon Forge. Thank you for everyone’s concern. It is nice to know we have so many friends in the Pro-Touring community. I am just fine thanks to the engineering and build quality of the vehicle. The car is already in the shop, torn apart, and will be better and faster than before. The entire DSE Team is jumping in to have it on the track for me in no time. Thanks, also, to everyone here at DSE for their extra hard work so I can participate in these events. See everyone soon at the next event!"

AH HA!! Missed it completely!

I didn't go thru the photos -- and then when I went to the "news" section and there was no mention... I didn't check any further.

Just shoot me!

LOL

Looks like a good excuse for some carbon fiber or aluminuminuminum.

That little lady pushes harder than mostly anyone I know in the pro-touring circuit and when you ride the edge long enough,,, sooner or later you cross that line.... It happen, she fine and we're all real happy she's ok...

Frankly another real life testimonial to just how good/safe the DSE products are... They test them hard as this wasn't a little nudge/ bump from what I heard (I was off preparing the evening BBQ when it happened to be clear)....
