"NASCRAP - go watch an F1 race and learn something."

 

[Eagle]

Damn. That was pretty violent!

 

[Shells_04]

The people involved in that accident are lucky to be alive. It looked pretty horrible

 

[chry*bmb]

Yeah, it was Kyle Larson's at Nationwide. Reminded me of Final Destination 3 or 4. Forgot which number, think 3. Damn scarry. Didn't see it but saw video. Nascar will cover it up and rave how safe they are and it could've been worse. Tell that to the people injured!!

And they would be correct.

This truly is a freak accident to have the front end rip off like that. Chances are, it split the chainlink fence and when it hit one of the fence poles, it acted like a saw.

Besides this incident, id say NASCAR is pretty safe considering how many guys crash at 160+ and walk away with out so much as a bruise.

If anything, NASCAR shouldnt be scrutinized for the safety of the sport but Daytona should be for the quality of the fence. I know those fences are designed to with stand the impacts of such crashes, so why did this one fail?

Was that a tire in that dudes lap?

Oh, I know they are. I've been to a race or two and watch plenty when I'm down South visiting my parents. Don't get me wrong, it's just crazy how it's all a business ,)

 

[Ear Rak]

Was that a tire in that dudes lap?

Yes. Its a new program in NASCAR. Its meant to bring race used souvenirs directly to the fan with out having to leave the seat and miss the race.

They're saying 24 injured now.

 

[SRT41320]

i wonder if the cars breaking apart like that have anything to do with them being the new 2013 cars? either way this crash was bad... but i still think the truck crash back in 2000/2001 was way worse there

 

[Bru]

These weren't the new cars. It was the nationwide series with same cars as last year.

 

[guspech750]

Holy crap. Pretty scary.
