After crashing Richie Crampton’s 1957 Chevy wagon on the evening of August 9th, it was touch-and-go as to whether Dom Lagana would survive. He’d just left Lucas Oil Raceway in the rad rod, with Crampton and crewman Jacob Sanders onboard, when they ran off the road, hit a pole with the car, used that weekend as a tow vehicle for Jonnie Lindberg’s Top Alcohol Funny Car. Both Crampton and Sanders were treated at a local hospital and later released with non-life-threatening injuries.
Not so for Dom Lagana, but racers are tough and, apparently Lagana is the toughest of the tough. The Top Fuel driver of his family’s rail and crewman on the three-time NHRA Top Fuel champion Capco Contractors race team since 2013, Dom Lagana was – and is – unwilling to accept anything but recovery from his accident.
