I'll just move what I had edited to a new post since it's no longer a double.

They can't blame Suarez for that. He got hit from behind by someone. Also, a pit crew member from the 98 team appears to have been injured during that wreck.
 
Looks like the Xfinity guys can't green flag pit stop. Almirola was stuck where he couldn't get down and no one went up high quick enough
 
Gaughan is going off. I don't blame him a bit for that little tirade either.
 
Not too many good cars taken out in that wreck thankfully. The only major players involved are Gaughn, Ryan Reid, Suarez, and Ty Dillon got a piece of it
 
Less cars were wrecked in the ARCA Series in both Super Speedway races this year than have been wrecked in any other Super Speedway race.

Let that one sink in....
 
I'm shocked that they actually showed the debris that brought out the caution.
 
Tri-Star motorsports making a splash towards the end. Looks like Brian Scott isn't as good as his teammates. Elliot Sadler probably has the best car
 
Wow. Gaughan hit the pitboard for the 98 after bouncing off the pitwall which sent the sign into the pitcrew.

I know it seems reactionary, but I've never understood why the the pitlanes are not all separated from the track by a wall running the length of them.

At at a place like Dega, a car could spear the entrance of pit road at 190. That's a horrible thing. An inside pit wall saved who knows how many lives

I've always wondered the same, as a European it's unthinkable to have people working on cars without a pitwall to protect them. I guess the main reason against it is how nasty it would be if somebody went into the end of the pitwall at 200mph.
 
There are tracks where they don't hit those sustained speeds and the walls aren't there. Like Charlotte, Atlanta, Texas and Las Vegas.

In all of those places a car would be hitting the wall in excess of 150 mph. That's not good. At ATL, Texas, and Charlotte, they are exiting the corners at 170 or more

A chip off his brother's block
 
Michigan has a pitwall, and is the fastest track. The pitwall is also set up in a way that it's not very likely that a car would hit the end of it at full speed.
