Gainesville Crash In 2021, during the AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Nationals in Gainesville, Florida, Salinas experienced a blow over crash during the final round of qualifying. The car went airborne as she passed the 1/8 mile and flew across the track, over the left guardrail, and flipped several times until eventually coming to a stop in the outside embankment.

The NHRA issued a statement that said Salinas’ “dragster stood up and blew over before coming to a stop” in the class’ final pairing of the session. She was able to crawl out of the car under her own power and was later transported to a local hospital for evaluation. She suffered bruising but no major injuries.
