Daytona 500

[Jwrussell]

There goes number 2 of 4.

 

[BradMc]

Green - White - Checker folks......

 

[Greg]

Let's go number 6!!!!

 

[Greg]

Holy Shit!!!

 

[BradMc]

It is a crash on the last lap ..........

 

[Jwrussell]

And 3 out of my 4 crashed after running up front. DAMNIT.

 

[derek]

The last 50 laps of that race were wild.

 

[cvm4]

Thank goodness I didn't start Kurt Busch. Seems like he left off where he started last year, crashing :rofl:

 

[Rank_Tyro]

Damn!!

What a finish!

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

Wish Mark would have been able to hold off Harvick. Number 2 again!!!!

 

[jwintosh]

did i miss it? bummer....

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

The BIG question: Should they have frozen the field when the wreck started??? Martin was leading!!!!

 

[derek]

No they should of not, they were coming thru the try oval. If that was the back stretch, then I would say yes. Racing back to the line from further away could of been dangerous for safety workers and putting the drivers that were involved in the crash in a bad position if they were injured.

Also this happens a lot lately and no one else seems to have brought it up, so why did Martin?

 

[AZsteelman]

glad it ended like it did...I can't stand that cry baby ass Martin!

#2 again?????

 

[Jwrussell]

At any other point in the race the yellow would have come out immediately.

Right?

 

[derek]

Right?

Yes, but when its the last chance for a green finish why throw the yellow and spoil to battle

 

[BradMc]

So a car sliding on it's top on fire isn't a safety problem, there were numerous crashs, the whole reason for throwing the Yellow is for the drivers safety, everone knew that NASCAR wouldn't throw the Yellow on the last lap (who gives a shit if Martin or Harvick won)...............But that is just me :argh:

 

[derek]

racing is racing

I cannot wait to see how these ugly COT do

 

[Greg]

All that stuff happened BEHIND the leaders, so it didn't affect the finish.

I'm glad the Daytona 500 didn't end on caution.
