	At the time of his death, Johnson held a record 26 NHRA titles in the Alcohol Division, until he was later surpassed by [[Rick Santos]].		At the time of his death, Johnson held a record 26 NHRA titles in the Alcohol Division, until he was later surpassed by [[Rick Santos]].

	However, on August 31, 1996 Johnson died from injuries sustained in a crash at the [[NHRA U.S. Nationals]] held at the [[Indianapolis Raceway Park]]. Johnson's engine exploded right as he reached the finish line. Debris from the engine cut down the rear tires; the thick rubber from the tires in turn sheared off the rear wing, causing a loss in aerodynamic downforce at the rear of the dragster, which caused Blaine to lose control. His out-of-control race car then slammed into a guardrail apex (an opening in the guardrail that existed for safety vehicles to enter the track), at around 300 m.p.h.. Johnson's car was heavily damaged as a result of the incident. He was sent to [[Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital]], but was pronounced dead on arrival.
