Buescher and DiBenedetto.

I did not like how Buescher hit the wall. I hope he's okay.

 

[GTPorsche]

Wow. Not really sure what caused that.

 

[ukfan758]

That was a hard, head on hit, that safer barrier moved a ton.

 

[CCM284]

Hard hit. Hope both are ok.

 

[Jahgee]

They're gucci mane

 

[Blitz24]

Matt looks like he may have rung his bell.

 

[Furinkazen]

How the 🤬 did that happen?

 

[GTPorsche]

Is that a new procedure? I know they aren't allowed to get out until crews get to them, but it seemed that they were being talked to before they were allowed to climb out.

 

[Jahgee]

The cars are loose, it's great racing

 

[ukfan758]

Someone got loose perhaps?

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Good to see both drivers climb out. Have that look like they had their marbles rattled.

Both probably had the wind knocked out of them.

From looks of it, 93 got loose, came down and may have pushed the 34 down. 34 moved and hit the apron trying to avoid hitting the 93. 93 over-corrected and hit wall, 34 shot up the track into the wall.

 

[Bo]

Looked like they were separate incidents on the low line, but they just managed to get tangled after both had hit the wall.

DiBenedetto was trying his best to look like he was feeling fine. That'll hurt in the morning.

Can't tell if sarcasm, but both of us were making our comment at the same time.

 

[TheBook]

Both of 'em looked a little punch-drunk, actually. Hopefully they're both okay.

Aside from the guys losing it and spinning, the racing has been actually pretty good because the cars are so hard to drive

15 years ago at least one of them has a Basilar Skull Fracture IMO, good thing NASCAR has made everything safer

 

[ukfan758]

Thank goodness we have those barriers everywhere now. I don't want to think about what the result would be if the walls were still solid concrete.

 

[LancerEvo7]

So what's the big deal about the barrier doing exactly what it's supposed to?

We're praising the barrier's performance.

 

[GTFan24]

Huge thumbs to NASCAR for the safety, Bell's incident on friday and this are good examples of safety done well in the track and cars keeping them safe

 

[AnthonyD1993]

It's more that they're saying they don't want to see the aftermath of the same accident if it wasn't even there.

That got old about 7 or 8 years ago.

 

[Suzumiya]

But muh safety advancements!

 

[Blitz24]

Trying to think of drivers who haven't been mentioned more than once, if at all, this race:

Ty Dillon, McDowell, Cassill, Annett, Newman, Richardson Jr., Scott.

 

[Eva]

Great thing about being at Daytona itself. No Fox coverage.

 

[RACECAR]

Didn't know showing appreciation for not having more dead drivers "got old"
