Funny Car owner-drivers Dale Creasy and Dave Richards were shaken but uninjured Friday after they collided during the opening qualifying session of the Texas FallNationals at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Tex.Something evidently broke in Creasy’s Tek Pak Dodge Charger at about half-track on the 1,000-foot Ennis, Texas, course. He already was off the throttle when his car shot to the right across the center line in front of Richards’s Versatran Ford.
Then it was banging and clanging. It was all my fault. I went across the center line. Maybe it's time to retire.''I cannot say if something broke, but regardless, I always feel that I am in control of my car,' Creasy said. 'If it does something like that, I feel like I didn't do my job. It's sad because we don't have any money. All of our stuff is broken. Right now, all I can do is cry. Maybe it's something I couldn't have controlled.
