Red flag.

 

[ND4SPD]

That was a huge hit, he's still not out of the car and the safety workers are surrounding the car. That didn't look good at all.

 

[MustangRyan]

And they still haven't shown a replay, which is usually a bad sign.

Not one bit. Hopefully McClure is going to be ok.

They won't show a replay yet because of McClure still being in the car. That's why they are using a wide angle as well.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm worried for Eric Mcclure. Hope he's just been badly winded, like Robert Richardson...

 

[BubbleBelly542]

I picked quite the time to tune in.

 

[ICEYOU]

I hope the guy in the 14 is okay.

 

[The Bman]

Ok, good. McClure is safe since he's been talking to the safety workers.

I just hope he doesn't have any injuries.

 

[Furinkazen]

He is talking in-car.

 

[GTPorsche]

NASCAR just confirmed that he was talking to safety workers. He must be injured pretty badly.

I guess the safety of these new cars isn't perfect. Atleast he's alive.

 

[Furinkazen]

There's no safer barrier where he hit...

 

[Earth]

Just a few years ago that wreck would have been much worse with grass in the infield and no safer barrier down there

There's no safer barrier where he hit...

I have DVR and he did hit the safer barrier, almost at its very end

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Why won't they show a replay?

 

[ICEYOU]

There's no safer barrier where he hit...

Oh.

 

[GTPorsche]

Why won't they show a replay?

Focusing on the removal of the driver first.

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Focusing on the removal of the driver first.

But they're showing it from far away. We can't see anything anyways.

 

[The Bman]

Thank god for the Car of Tomorrow and SAFER barriers. If they weren't there one would wonder what would have happened to McClure.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm sure I saw a safety worker move his helmet away or Hans.

 

[MustangRyan]

Why won't they show a replay?

They won't typically show a replay if there is any fear that the driver might have been fatally injured.

 

[GTPorsche]

I'm sure I saw a safety worker move his helmet away or Hans.

Probably at the same time the crowd cheered.

 

[Furinkazen]

On a stretcher I think. Hope he's ok...

 

[Earth]

And paved runoff and the HANS device.

 

[photonrider]

Patrick was okay till someone got into her.

 

[The Bman]

McClure is being sent to the hospital. I hope he is ok.

And paved runoff and the HANS device.

And yes, how could I have forgot about those.

 

[GTPorsche]

Skipped the infield care center and right to the helicopter to the University of Alabama medical center.

Again, not a good sign.

 

[ND4SPD]

Never a good sign when they're airlifting him. I hope he's alright. That hit was huge. I literally stood up from the couch.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They won't typically show a replay if there is any fear that the driver might have been fatally injured.

Same thing happened during the Arca race yesterday when that guy flipped 6 times.

 

[ICEYOU]

He's being airlifted now.
