Poor shoe box 
That is one lucky guy. Incredible that he was able to just walk away.
How the hell did they let him out there?
This was a no prep event, to simulate street racing and give people a legal place to do it. Tech rules are personal choice, come with whatever you see as acceptable risk. I'm sure people's minds there have changed a bit on what is an acceptable risk after this.
Wow, lucky guy and very expensive error.
If I were still an EMT I can guarantee you he would have been boarded braced and taken straight to the ER for evaluation. I'm glad he walked away unscathed.
Wow. He was definitely very fortunate to have walked away after hanging out the windshield like that. A very nice looking '55 Chevy up until the crash.
Why? Its a "legal street race". The same thing could have happened on the street just driving. Or on the track. The driver is a seasoned racer.
This is from the crew.
"Our statement regarding the Colorado Street Outlaws crash at Pikes Peak International Raceway yesterday.
(Sept. 21, 2014) Fountain, CO -- Drag racer Kelly Harvey walked away with only minor injuries yesterday after his 1955 Chevy took several rolls during the Colorado Street Outlaws Drag Racing Event at Pikes Peak International Raceway (PPIR).
The racing style seat belts worn by the driver failed during the crash. "My seat belts were not mounted properly and pulled through the floor of the car," Harvey said. "I'm grateful to the staff and safety crew at PPIR for such a rapid response to my situation," he said.
Fortunately, Harvey was able to climb from of the car on his own and walk away.
"PPIR sets standards for all its events to keep drivers, crew, and spectators safe," said PPIR General Manager Bob Boileau. "However, it is the responsibility of the car owner, driver and crews to be sure their vehicles are prepared to take to the track. We're glad there were no serious injuries" he said.

That s quite the hard ass reply. Does it look like a top fuel car to you or something? It's just a little street car, runs mid elevens. Not like firing an 8 second car down the same track, which by the way, plenty of people have done.
Armchair quarterbacks galore, must be the internet.
He better count his lucky blessings!
That's massed up. Should of let off
