Boogity indeed.

[MonkeyHanger]

Ouch!

[hornet]

Well that didn't take long. Hope everyone is ok.

[MonkeyHanger]

Well this could be a long night

Found a live stream that works. I'm unusually happy to be able to watch NASCAR.

She's not exactly had the smoothest of weekends. Big crash in the duel, big crash in Nationwide and now this. Welcome to NASCAR Danica...

[ben5732]

And a second already....

Danica out on track, and only 65ish laps down. I'm sure she'll catch up in a jiffy, if the amount of hype is anything to go by.

I'm no fan, but to be fair there wasn't much she could do about that crash. Car is racing for owner points, so worth keeping it out there. Never know, given how much mayhem there's been in the races thus far, simply being on the track at the end could turn out to be a reasonable strategy! They're talking about the upcoming scramble for leading at half way, as that's worth $200k, so expect things to get a bit silly...

[hornet]

Blimey, Gordon's engine blow up looked like a funnycar motor letting go for a second there.

Formidable jet fuel fire. Had I not heard the radio from Montoya I might have thought he tapped the brakes after the cleaning crew flashed the yellow just before he passed and crashed.

Set for a big delay now

[PiB]

Until next year I think.

[hornet]

That really is one of the weirdest crashes I've ever seen. Of all the places for something to fail...

[anonymous-user]

Hmm, wonder if they'll race again?

[cheddar]

I couldn't bear anymore '5 minutes of racing, 3 minutes of ads, 5 minutes of racing, 3 minutes of ads'.


Preposterous.

[hornet]

I'm guessing they were cramming in all the contracted ads just in case there was a rain curtailment? Was getting stupid at one stage. Six laps until the $200k mid-way bonus? Let's go to a break!

[anonymous-user]

$200k for leading half way...bonkers money!
