These photos are a bit hard to look at. Brion Philley, at the 2016 Evergreen Speedway Galloway 150 on the big track, was on his qualifying laps. Coming out of turn four, something on the car broke. Brion hit the front-stretch inside wall head-on at full speed. The car was destroyed, and Brion suffered some injuries. As can be seen from the expression on his face, he was in quite a bit of pain. If I remember correctly, he was transported to the hospital for treatment. Brion subsequently retired from racing.

Here are all 44 cars that timed in for the 2015 Evergreen Speedway Summer Showdown. There were some heavy hitters at that race. Compare that to the last few years that had car counts in the 20s (or fewer). And most of those were local racers. The Summer Showdown seems to have lost its luster and prestige as Evergreen's marque event, especially considering what happened at the 2023 event. It will be interesting to see what the 2024 event looks like. Regardless, I'll be there with my trusty Nikon to chronicle the festivities.
