Watch A Guy Stop A Runaway Race Car With His Bare Hands
This weekend, a man brought a micro sprint car with a stuck throttle to a halt with what looks like, based on a tweet by Fast Four Media, nothing more than a little bit of toughness and a gigantic dosing of courage.

Doug Lockwood describes himself on his Twitter profile as a "Race Director for dirt track racing," but a more appropriate description might be "big ball-having badass," because he just snatched a car off a track like it was no big deal.
Looking at Fast Four Media's Twitter page, it appears that Lockwood was working at a kids race event in California when a micro sprint car's throttle got stuck. The fearless Lockwood body-slammed the car from the side, grabbed its wing and brought it to a standstill. He shut off the engine and walked away like a boss.
LIKE A BOSS.
