I have a feeling this race might be over, that track is cooked.

That was ugly. I'm so glad everyone is okay.

The rain has moved off with no more in sight. I was amazed the sent out the jet dryers yesterday and 10 min. later it was pouring. I could see on my laptop 900 miles away the radar showing the storms. Big dummys. :lol:

Did they leave one of the dryers out on the track that everyone forgot about??

What else can go wrong with this race?

The emergency crews were not prepared for a JP-4 fire. CO2 and water just piss off jet fuel. They needed AFFF
(aqueous film-forming foam) to douse it, and had none.

All navy personnel understand what that is. Basic Firefighting 101.

Also the huge realization that those vehicles have no where near the protection for a raceway accident. 'Hey, these trucks don't race, they don't need door and passenger protection! Seat belts are fine!'

I suspect someone is going to re-think allowing those trucks on the track with 70mph race cars. That driver was very lucky to be alive.

Amen to that as well. Apparently, that vehicle was "blowing off" debris from the previous incident that caused the yellow flag.

That driver was going a lot faster than 70. He was trying to catch up with the pack, and something broke in his car.

Where's the EPA??

Can't wait to see the fines the EPA hands out to NASCAR..

Imagine.. it's only a SMALL fuel spill.. 250, 300 gallons.. Just wash it down the drain, it'll be ok!!

Where the hell do they think all the fuel they just washed off the track went??

The Budweiser Vendors have GOT to be out of Beer by now.. that and Skoal.. Got to have a good supply of Skoal to keep the female fans happy!

You think the distributors would be making emergency restocking runs to the race track at Midnight??

ARCA called NASCAR. They want their crashfests back.

Only Juan Pablo Montoya could pull that off.

They go two hours during a red flag commercial free and then four laps in to a green flag run, on come the full screen ads.

Now, under a caution, they're not using the time to get commercials out of the way.
