Based on the coordinates and Google Earth, this is the hill they rolled on. Long down hill tightening into an uphill turn - definitely a likely spot for a roll.

Is that where Kevin and Brett rolled or where Tracy Jordan rolled in 06?

Where 876 rolled today.

Todd,
have you talked to Kevin?
Todd,
have you talked to Kevin?
I am really bummed for those guys. They worked really hard and were up against some tough competion and terrain. They have my respect and I hope the injuries are minor.
Damn, this just sucks! I shoulda been there. Was asked to help Kevin and his team out very early on in this endeavor and the logistics just didn't work for me. Now more than ever I wish I had found a way to be there to help out.
Anyone know who was driver #3 and what SD hospital he is in?

Expedite Kevin. Hmmm.... 
He was burning the candle on both ends and sent me the rest of the build article on Saturday before they left. He's a man of his word, I'll say that much. Very committed to what he says he'll deliver.

Glad Kevin is alright. Hope driver #3 recovers quick and completely.
Looks like they've been out for awhile. They are now stopped at about RM 518.smittycrusher said:

They must be going backwards to get off the track, I had them at RM535 IRC at around 9AM. At that time they were going slow 4-6 MPH for a while then 0 MPH and back 4-6. Data from IRC.

Kevin reports that all is well, events are being blown out of proportion by the media and that the driver is out of the ICU and is just a little banged up.
