RIP Scott.
Sounds like he popped a motor near the finish line and the car ran out to the end of the track, through the sand trap, and flipped over the catch fence. Pronounced dead at the hospital just before 5:00pm.
From the Star-Ledger:

Spectators at the track watched as Kalitta's car exploded, hit a sand trap, then vaulted over a protective catch fence. A slow-moving ambulance took the driver away.
