Michael McDowell will probably be Kyle's replacement

Michael McDowell will probably be Kyle's replacement

I thought he was in the 500 already?

 

[GTPorsche]

I thought he was in the 500 already?

He is, in the 95.

 

[The Bman]

Ryan Reed right past Horseface.

 

[cnd01]

Yes!!! Roush 1-2!!!

 

[Leadfoot530]

Ryan Reed for Rousch!

 

[nascarfan1400]

ALRIGHT RYAN REED!!!

 

[Michelin]

Even Jack Roush doesn't believe it!!!! OMFG hahahaha

 

[Jahgee]

I thought he was in the 500 already?

I couldn't find him on the list

 

[GTPorsche]

Larson nearly hit the same wall that Kyle hit.

Underdog win from Ryan Reed. First driver with type 1 diabetes to win a major NASCAR series race. Also first win for Roush at Daytona in the series.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

This is the first win for Ford in the Xfinity Series at Daytona since July 2004.

 

[Michelin]

Buescher and Reed, the future of Roush!!!

 

[Fuzzy]

Good job Ryan Reed. 👍

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

The Roush cars? What is this? Bizzaro world?

 

[Northstar]

I couldn't find him on the list

Probably because they are starting 23rd instead of the back.

 

[cnd01]

Now that's what I call a last lap!! Larson getting thrown out is what put Brad way out front and C. Buesher hooked up with Ryan Reid

 

[LancerEvo7]

This is the first win for Ford in the Xfinity Series at Daytona since July 2004.

No, it's the first win ever for Ford in the Xfinity Series.

Now that's what I call a last lap!

Agreed. Can't stand Larson so I enjoyed that.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Someone tag me when they give an update on KB please.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Someone tag me when they give an update on KB please.

Taken directly to Halifax, right leg pain.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Did Ryan Reed remind anyone else of AJ Allmendinger when he won at Watkins Glen?

Yeah, also tag me with KB updates

 

[The Bman]

Only 9 drivers finished on the lead lap.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I don't like Kyle. I respect him as he's a great driver, but it is never okay to see a driver injured. Best wishes to KB and friends/family

 

[cnd01]

Only 9 drivers finished on the lead lap.

When 1/3 the lead pack crashed twice, that doesn't leave too many people

 

[ukfan758]

Saw Kyle Buschs crash, that was a horrible impact. They need safer barriers around the entire track

 

[iRevelationz]

With this big "Daytona Rising" project, you think they'd get to installing SAFER Barriers everywhere around the track while they're at it. Guess not.

No sense in this crap.

 

[Dotini]

Busch's leg was placed in an air cast before transport to hospital. His start in the 500 is iffy.

The savage impact deceleration numbers will likely indicate a concussion event worth evaluating for a period of time before racing again.

A lot of the other drivers are upset about the lack of safer barriers at the impact site.

NEWS: @KyleBusch is awake and alert and undergoing treatment for a right leg injury. He will not participate in tomorrow's DAYTONA 500.

@nascarfan1400 @Leadfoot530

 

[Jahgee]

Kyle confirmed out for the 500

 

[Panoz]

First Kurt gets suspended by NASCAR then Kyle gets hurt in a crash.

The Busch brothers are in a living nightmare.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I'd rather be Kyle though because he at least will be able to return to his race car when he is ready. Kurt, on the other hand, will need to go through a legal war and hope that he somehow wins his second appeal (if he uses it) to even have a chance at returning to NASCAR.
