Yeah, he was keeping up too.

Dunno what it was doing on a dragstrip, but I give it props for keeping up.

Sorry to the guy who wrecked it though.

What happened? Looks/sounds like he pulled his E-brake or something?

He was caching up!

just before he looses control he hits the brakes, why the hell does he do that?

It's a good thing that noob was on a drag strip and not a road course where the real talent is needed. If you can't even drive in a straight line, you definitely shouldn't be turning! Remember we aren't talking about a 9 second powerhouse here.

He probably hit the brake instead of the clutch. I have seen it happen a million times. Never with that end result though.

Yes it is! Just not on a dragstrip. You just need to use it properly!
