STATESVILLE, N.C., April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bebida
Beverage Company (OTC markets: BBDA) (BeBevCo.) CEO Brian
Weber, who developed the KOMA Unwind relaxation drink and
other energy products, walked away from a wild
incident at Bowman-Gray (N.C.) Stadium during Saturday night's
season-opener in the Modified Division.
Weber had crafted his KOMA Unwind relaxation
drink automobile through the field early into the 200-lap
event, but as he exited the corner on lap 38, his racecar broke
loose when the right rear tire clipped the
outside guardrail, which then immediately turned the machine hard
into the wall. The contact was so forceful that it launched Weber's
car into the air, sailing several hundred feet before coming to
rest in between the guardrails and the concrete wall, where
race fans stood in disbelief.
Nearly three minutes after the wreck, Weber climbed from his
racecar, waved to the crowd and made the mandatory trip to visit
the infield medical staff. He went through a medical examination
and was subsequently released.
"We had a good night going," said Weber, a 30-year racing
veteran. "That was, by far, the scariest racing crash of
my career. I've never experienced anything like that before in
my career, even in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series or
NASCAR Nationwide Series."
"I don't really know what happened," offered Weber when asked
about the incident. "I came off the corner, the car snapped and the
tire hit the guardrail and the rest was history. It's a shame,
because we were having a good night with the KOMA Unwind car.
Thankfully, I'm just glad that none of the fans or anyone on the
flag stand was injured."
The Long Island, New York native, who resides in
Mooresville, North
Carolina, had several family and friends in attendance for the
event on Saturday night including NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
driver Jennifer Jo Cobb, whom KOMA
Unwind has sponsored this season. While there was a lot
of obvious emotion drawing from pit lane and the
grandstands, Weber praised the safety of his racecar and
restraints.
"I took my time getting out of the car," he added. "It was a
hell of a ride. After the car came to a rest, I knew I was okay,
but I just wanted to make sure I could collect my thoughts. This
accident is a real testament to the series' specifications of these
cars and my safety devices, including my seat and my head and
neck restraint. Without that, I may have not been so fortunate to
walk away."
It was quite clear, however, that many people were
mystified about Weber's calm demeanor following the incident.
The veteran racer had an easy answer for his
appearance.
"I had some KOMA Unwind before I climbed into the car," he
sounded with a smile. "It really works. Even in the most
extreme situations. I think I'll have an extra can though to ease
the soreness and get a goodnight's rest. It was a night I won't
soon forget!"
Tonight, Weber will be featured
on RacersReunion.com from 6:30
p.m. – 6:45 p.m. (Eastern) to
recount his Bowman-Gray experience.
