I would like to put forth that the damage token effects are resolved BEFORE the token is applied to the car.Under TAKING DAMAGE: "When your car takes damage, choose a random damage token from the pile and flip it over. Resolve the effect, if any. (Effects are shown on the back of this rulebook.) Then, place the damage token face down under one of that car’s damage slots."
This makes it a bit more complicated in the OP's example. Does the Shooter lose because they take damage as part of the Target's damage token being resolved? Or does the shooter win because the target's damage token finishes resolving before the shooter's damage token (from the shrapnel) resolves?
I'd go with EPIC TIE!
