That is indeed Paul with what at that time was the one and only X - 7 prototype. The white wheels are Clayton's. The pic is from Sunday, when Paul & Clayton were back-to-back. They just put in a new pack and Paul's body and got it out there.
There was a first-corner pile-up and Paul, from 6th, barreled into it at full chat -- there is actually a dent in a front aluminum bulkhead. Apparently it cracked the shock tower, because on lap 6, just after Paul took over the lead, it simply broke going down the straight.
