Scary 🤬. Thank god Montoya is alright.

 

[Suzumiya]

Something broke.....anyone know what it was?

 

[-Fred-]

The rear end locked up, I'm pretty sure.

 

[Blitz24]

Looks like it was possibly the driveline.

 

[CodeRedR51]

My thoughts: Transmission blew and got oil on the rear tires causing him to lose control. Jet dryer was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[Cowboys965]

The wall could be damaged too. And all that fuel, chemicals, water, and shrapnel. I doubt we will continue.

 

[Sier_Pinski]

They just showed the replay of Montoya's last pit stop. Did you see the small fuel leak out of that green fuel cap?

 

[photonrider]

Right at that point? Damn.

 

[Earth]

new caution rules will be needed

jet blowers seem very unsafe now

 

[carracerptp]

Wow wow wow.....

 

[CorvetteConquer]

They should have turned off visual damage...

 

[Antonisbob]

They said he was having problems with the car..

 

[Suzumiya]

Hard luck for the #42, hopefully he has a better season....
Still rooting for Denny! ^^

 

[BubbleBelly542]

I just think, if he heard something vibrate that much he should've slowed a bit more, it just seems like here had enough warning didn't he? Or was it instant?

If it's just safer barrier destroyed they can replace very easily.

That would be overreacting to a freak one-in-a-million incident.

 

[The Bman]

It's done. There is no way that there could be a race now. All of the debris, chemicals, damage to the track etc.

 

[GTPorsche]

Not to mention that area of the track has to be dried... again.

 

[Suzumiya]

Well...we're going to have a pretty interesting top 5 if the race ends right now. xD

 

[SuperShouden]

Well...there's a wreck that will probably show up on the WTF/OMG moment thread.

 

[RACECAR]

Can someone give me a link to a stream?

Yes.

 

[scarslasher]

Well, the rain's likely a non-issue now. But the question is.. is the fence and SAFER barrier.. and more importantly THE TRACK in a good enough condition to race on/with.

 

[carracerptp]

Big time.

 

[Sier_Pinski]

Looks like we'll be having more rain at Daytona soon, adding more fuel to an already fiery permanent red flag.

 

[iaustin7]

That was pretty scary, but the racing surface... I don't know.

 

[vfrmaverick]

Yep. big black lines the second sparks come out and before it goes around. They run brakes too small to lock them up at speed.
Still

Wow...

In all my years of race spectating, I've never seen anything as bizarre as this... Glad that everyone is OK.

I can't believe what I just saw.

 

[Müle]

This is so unexpected. It exploded on contact!



How? The race is probably over.

A huge fireball ignites in the proximity of a driver and numerous safety crew members, and all you can do is yell at the driver over the internet and call him a "crazy ****."

Yea, just weird.
