BRISTOL, Tenn. -- This is Musi's first year racing any kind of car, though she has grown up around the sport as the daughter of legendary driver Pat Musi, who has competed and won in NHRA Pro Stock, IHRA Pro Mod, NHRA Pro Mod and a number of street car championships. Musi turned 21 in January, but has been around racing her entire life.

Musi ran into trouble during the third round of qualifying of the American Drag Racing League's (ADRL) Spring Drags III at Bristol Dragway. The car started to get loose during the run, it turned sideways and the front end of the car crashed into the left wall. Air got underneath the car at that point and turned it around, causing it to topple over the left wall and into the grass at about the quarter-mile mark on the track.

It was a wild scene, but, with the safety team quickly en route, Musi was able to get out of the car under her own power and suffered no serious injuries.

The Spring Drags III marks the ADRL's debut at Bristol Dragway.
