[h=2]IHRA: Mark Sanders' tribute song[/h] Thursday, 14 July 2016

A few days ago we profiled IHRA AMSOIL Nitro Funny Car driver Mark Sanders, noting more than once that he has, well, the gift of gab.
As the most recent winner in his class, we thought that this four-minute video from several years ago might give you a better idea of what kind of a character he is.
The people at Bakersfield, California's BTUFF Magazine must have agreed, as they took clips from some Sanders interviews and set them to music – specifically "Westbound" by Hollywood Rich.
They called it the "MR. EXPLOSIVE (Mark Sanders) Tribute Song," saying "We can't get enough of Mark at BTUFF. We compiled his interviews at the 2013 March Meet in one song. "Going to the top baby!!!"
If nothing else, Sanders is one of the best examples of the simple joy of motorsports.
A final note: In March of 2012, Sanders crashed his Chevrolet Nova hard at the track in Bakersfield, and he was briefly knocked out. But by all accounts he was like this before, so that doesn't explain anything.
Enjoy! Or at least be entertained...
