It's actually really easy to not shove someone in a corner...

Because you drive a NASCAR with these guys?
 
Seeing that aerial view, I'm amazed no one died. If this happened a few years ago, I bet at least 10 people would've died just now. We've come a long way. Also, I almost teared up a bit seeing the 88 crew attending to Austin Dillon

I wanna see a camera angle showing Keselowski.


What in the actual hell happened to him?

Probably slammed on the brakes after the crash in front of him and got lose, nothing he could have done honestly... just notice he was sliding instead of head on (maybe like Senna and Massa did to avoid a head on crash?)

He probably ran over debris and broke something
 
Holy hell, just saw a video of the last lap. Honestly that's got to be one of the most vicious crashes I've ever seen. :scared:!! Happy to that Dillon was able to walk away from it, even happier that no one in the stands was seriously injured.

No, because it's 🤬 common sense.

It's not as easy as it looks when everyone is trying to steal what they can. It becomes a fight for survival. That, my friend, is common sense.

Best news of the night. 👍

The way Dillon's car flipped, real lucky that it hit the fence the way it did. Brad hitting him could've been much more dangerous since the structure's already been compromised.

The fence sure did its job. But wow.
 
Now that everything has calmed down, I'm going to pass out.

Goodnight. Go take Kuni for some Krispy Kremes before you go. :p
 
Good night everyone. Don't let the nightmares get you and its been great chatting with you all.

Seeing as it was the last lap and everyone was pushing, I don't think it would've been as easy as you suggest. That pack was basically everyone on top of everyone one row after another.

The impact sounds. :scared:

Man, that's even harder to watch with sound.
 
The wreck honestly took my break away; think I went into shock, too, simply from watching it. Thank god for that fence and these cars. I may hate on them a lot, since these cars are so hard to pass with the current aero package at plate tracks, but damn, are they safe.

Reminds me a helluva lot of the truck crash, at almost the exact same spot. Might have been one of the Bodines.

This is probably the scariest crash I've seen since that one.

Again, thank god for these cars and tracks.
 
As soon as I saw the #3 on it's roof with basically no front end, I felt sick. I honestly thought Dillon was going to be seriously hurt. I also had a bad flashback to Earnhardt Senior's fatal crash at Daytona. Same number. Nearly the same livery. It was easily the scariest crash I've ever seen. Thank god everyone is ok, amd the injuries to the spectators are only minor. What a testament to safety that whole race was.

Luckily it didn't go over the fence with the rate that it climbed... Le Mans '55 style...

The scariest one I watched live was Daytona 24h '14... Especially since they took a long time to get out. And they didn't talk about it, or show replays for a very long time...
