The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is in Sebring this weekend, but Joey Saldana may have found an even bumpier track in California.

Saldana was qualifying for the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series race at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California, Friday night when his car decided it wanted to turn into a bucking bronco:

Somehow, Saldana was able to hold onto it, but unfortunately it meant he only set the 29th fastest time in qualifying.

Saldana went on to finish eighth in his heat race and 19th in Friday night’s feature, while David Gravel took his first feature win of the season.
