Английская Википедия:Francis Affleck
Шаблон:Infobox NASCAR driver Francis Archibald Affleck (March 4, 1950 – February 7, 1985) was a Canadian race car driver.
Career
He raced late model NASCAR as a hobby when he was living in the Montreal, Quebec suburb of Greenfield Park.[1] He continued racing in NASCAR late models at local tracks and ARCA when he moved to Charlotte in 1977.[2]
In practice for the ARCA 200 race at Daytona International Speedway on February 7, 1985 while travelling at an estimated 195 miles per hour, Affleck got his car sideways between turns 1 and 2, went airborne, and barrel-rolled end-over-end at least 7 or 8 times. The protective window netting on his car failed and Affleck was thrown partially out of his car and sustained head and neck injuries after being pinned under his Ford. Affleck's crash also changed the way that the protective window nettings are constructed on both NASCAR and ARCA cars to this day. Francis Affleck became the first ARCA driver to be fatally injured at the Daytona International Speedway in its then 26-year history, and the first driver to be killed at the track since Ricky Knotts in 1980.[3]
Affleck was the eldest of five children of Bill and Velma Affleck.[1] He was survived by Kathleen, his wife of 15 years, and two sons.[1]
