Twelve wild rides of 2014: Flagman ducks to avoid flying sprint car
Editor's note: From December 13 to December 24, FOX Sports will be counting down the 12 craziest rides caught on video in 2014.
On most days, being the flagman at a race is a rather low-key job.
However, in the Aug. 8 USAC Sprint Car race at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., flagman Keith Trusso's night took an unexpected turn when the car of Roseville, Calif., driver Scott Hall abruptly came flying up into the starter's stand.
Watch as Trusso ducks to avoid the airborne car and then walks down to assist safety workers in getting the machine back in its rightful place.
