Jimmie may have been outta fuel

 

[Johnny1996]

Untrue, since he finished the race on all 4 wheels.

I said "at a certain point" since no matter where the car came to rest, sometime before that happened, the wheels were not on the ground.

He was.

In the in-car replay, you can see the fuel pressure gauge flashing red starting just before he gets wrecked. Even signaled out the window to the other drivers, but at that point it's too late to do much, especially on the outside.

Jimmie was out of fuel. He really slowed down into turn 4.

Ryan Truex is in. No idea what happened and how he's in. Unless he was ahead of Waltrip before the field was frozen allowing him to pass Waltrip.

I must say, Clint has massively improved in his landing.

The face of a man driving upside-down

 

[GTPorsche]

Landon Cassill has another black eye. Not sure how he got it.

Holy Sweet mother of Energy Shots!

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Great finishes, good racing, and Clint sticks the landing like a baus. Give that man a spot on the Olympic Gymnastics team!!

WUT!? @landoncassill says he was riding his bike around Daytona on Saturday and got hit by a car!

Dude! Holy crap that was an awesome onboard from Bowyer! Last time a car flipped and with barely any damage as a result was Robert Presley in the '97 or '98 Daytona 500.

Actually there were two trucks in 2005 (?) that did a blow over like Clint's, and both finished.

The blow over is my favorite type of crash, so I'm pleased with the result.

 

[Blitz24]

Ryan Truex is out of the 500 again. He may be back in eventually, and then back out again.

 

[nascarfan1400]

5 cars airborne:

Clint (Blowover)
Waltrip (Hit inside wall)
Truex (Hit the grass)
Ragan (hit inside wall)
Mcmurray (hit by truex)

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

well, 35, 87, 93, 95 are out

Never saw those two, but I think I saw a YouTube video of Chad Chaffin doing that (?).

 

[Blitz24]

Ryan Truex, McClure, Nemechek, Shepherd, McDowell DNQ.

Geoff Bodine and Rick Crawford I believe

 

[Jahgee]

LaBonte's are in

Hurray!

2 flips in 2 days... That ever happen before?

Day-Dega Superspeedweeks

My favorite wreck of all time was at Talladega in the mid-90's when Jimmy Horton (red #32, if I recall correctly) barrel-rolled the car right over the wall in the middle of the turn. There was so much smoke the announcers didn't even know it had happened, until the cameraman found the car sitting outside the track.

It's happened at least once or twice at Talladega. Not sure if it's happened at Daytona.

 

[MustangRyan]

There have almost certainly been races at Talladega where there were two flipping accidents in the same race.

Well yeah, 2009 October 31, Newmans blowover and Martins weight shift.

I was referring to Daytona

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Sad to see Shepherd not make it. If the field wasn't frozen he would have (eventually) passed the wrecked cars.

Glad he wasn't up front at the end though, a 72yr old and the big one don't mix well...

 

[Ganon83]

There's been multiple deaths in a single race in multiple incidents at Daytona. If it has happened in racing, Daytona has had it happen.

 

[MustangRyan]

He was a lap down. He couldn't have passed lead-lap cars on the final lap.

 

[Wilbur]

Pretty bummed to not see Ryan make it, sucks for him.

Is it wrong that I'm enjoying Kligerman and Bowyers flipping? (after knowing they are ok, of course)
