The team did not hav the engine backed down enough and there was still fuel in the combustion chamber..

upon ignition, the valve cover and cylinder head assembly violently seperated from the engine and stuck a crew member. The cylinder head was 3" from the mating surface when taken back to the pit area.

no news on it posted as of yet on nhra.com
