Spiering did not get his car stopped in time and went into the emergency sand trap.

"We have some work to do tonight before for the finals on Sunday, but we can get it done," explained an excitable Carl Spiering. "That's why we have that big Aluminum Trailer transporter. We have everything imaginable in there. I've got to go the Eaton Road Warrior needs me."
