I just talked to Brandon-- no update on current condition, but here's kind of what happened (and I apologize if I misunderstood and get anything wrong):
Brandon was standing at the turn 10 corner worker station and saw it all, below is a track map.. Randy and one of the other cars were racing hard and Randy had just taken the lead. I forget his name, but the black ITE/STO turbo NSX broke an axle and was limping down into 10 to come into the pits, Randy came over the hill at 9 and either Randy (i think Randy) or the other car thought they were clear and moved over on the NSX making contact causing the initial contact. I think Randy was then turned into the other car and destroyed the rear end of it which caused Randy to go airborne and do the 7 end over ends ~20' in the air. The car sounds as though it's gone- safety net couldn't be seen, his arm (most likely broken) was hanging out the window, wheels were gone, head (in helmet) was out of the cage, etc..He was unconscious until the rescuers came over and then he was in and out of consciousness. they cut the roof off, extracted him, and flat-boarded him onto the medi-vac. (possibly to Chico..)
The good news is he gained consciousness and was able to complain about pains. Injuries are unknown right now, and again, no update on current condition I'm sorry (IMG:
