demke crossed the finish line a car length ahead of Shields, but his car was aimed at the centerline from the start and took out the 1,000-foot timing blocks, then swerved back to the right, barely missing the wall, almost sidways, then swerved back to the left, opnce again very, very sideways. He didn't hit anything, didn't roll over - in essence, "he crashed without hitting anything." Demke was disqualified, Shields gets the win.
