Get ready

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:00 PM

OMG .... What a hard hit! The back of Vicker's car is gone

Bowyer, Harvick, Vickers, Dale, 6 cars involved

**Bugeater** · 02-13-2016, 08:03 PM

I have to admit I'm nowhere near as annoyed by Jeff being in the booth as I thought I'd be.

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:06 PM

At least Jeff can talk about the new cars - The rest of the guys in the booth raced in what the 50's?

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:14 PM

Vickers picking up where he left off last season - crashing through the wall and taking out all the good cars

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:22 PM

J.C. This is the only car racing sport where people walk around with their belongings in a shopping bag.

It's the second time a shopping bag landed on Brad's grill.

KCTitus · 02-13-2016, 08:23 PM

that's about the only thing I enjoy...seeing the 48 turn into junk.

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:28 PM

Good thing GloryDayz decided to have a fun night out with his boys.

I think Menard taped him from behind... Daytona is not the place to be caught in the middle of 3-wide.

Al Bundy · 02-13-2016, 08:45 PM

Kasey Kahne in midseason form...

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:56 PM

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 08:58 PM

All the cars go BOOM!

Anyone left to race? Looks like two cars are left after the wreck

The #19 was like a bull in a china shop speeding down the middle - Well, what did he expect when someone takes the air off his car.

Edit: Carl Edwards in the#19

-- At least he admitted it was his fault.

**Dylan** · 02-13-2016, 09:08 PM

Hamlin wins as the rest of the cars go spinning every which way behind him.

I like Hamlin. Love his color scheme.

What a mess...

Awesome burnout!!!

Ice was closed, high school games.. Ugh. Either way, I just got back and watched until JJs wreck, and it looked like a racing thing.

Three-wide at restrictor plate tracks where speeds reach up to 200 mph is a recipe for disaster - Especially coming through the tri-oval. Drivers know it - They don't care - They go three-wide from start/finish.

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS - SIDELINED IN CRASH ON LAP 43

‘I could see the hole closing up. I was trying to get out of it and I avoided from crashing the two guys that closed the door on me, but I got hit from behind and that’s what sent me down through the infield. I was just trying hard on one of those nights. I was certainly trying to see what I could get with and what I couldn’t by being aggressive, and we’re down.

"I was trying to back out of it. I don’t think the two guys I was trying to be in the middle of, knew that I was there and I could see the door closing. I was trying to back out of it. I did a decent job getting out of there and not spinning the No. 1 (McMurray) and the No. 13 (Mears) and I got hit from behind and that sent me down to the infield. It’s unfortunate because the hole was there and I had a good run coming up through the center but they just started closing the door on me."

Crash on the final lap Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway.

Odd how only NASCAR fails to understand the danger of the plate. Granted it might be saving some lives, but I don't think that's their motive at all, I think they want door-to-door 3-wide racing, but I'm sure their claims that it's really for safety will keep the other intact without having to say it.
