Drag Racer Cadu Moreira Walks Away From Fiery Armagedon 2025 Crash

The driver credits proper safety gear plus a fast rescue response for avoiding serious injury.

Overview

  • The Chevy Nova flipped after launch at Velopark in Nova Santa Rita, struck a wall, rolled multiple times, and briefly caught fire.
  • Track medics arrived immediately, extinguished flames, and the driver exited under his own power with minor injuries.
  • Hospital imaging — X-ray, ultrasound, and MRI — found no serious damage, and he returned Saturday to watch the races.
  • Moreira says a broken steering bar triggered the loss of control, a cause reported by him and not independently verified.
  • Armagedon 2025 is a short-distance arrancada meet with heavily modified cars; Moreira helps organize the Lista Área 43 event in Londrina.
