Thomas Borrell, a diesel drag racer who chronicled his builds and runs as Turba Tom on YouTube, died after a crash at the Rocky Top Diesel Shootout in Tennessee on Friday. He was 37.

Borrell's truck, a Cummins-powered Ram he had used for both drag racing and sled pulls in the past, was participating in 1/8th mile runs during the event. At the end of one such run, DragZine reports that his truck failed to slow at the end of the shutdown area and continued on into the woods behind the course at speed. Shortly after the crash, the event at Crossville Dragway came to an early end.
