The grand finale is on FOX right now.

Red flagged at the moment, 16 laps to go, just had the big wreck...

Bowyer is about the only driver I like and he made it through unscathed and is sitting in 6th place.



Should be an EPIC finish......!

Joey Logano causes another wreck.

No surprise there.

I've gravitated away from it over the years but seems to still put me on the edge of my seat.

Folks that have never tried to hold that kind of power, or travel that speed, & then say, all they do is turn left, is talking out their ass.

My wife had the day off work(she works from home) so it made perfect sense to come home early from (my)work to drink beer and watch Nascar on a Monday afternoon.

2 laps to go, big wreck, not even sure what they do with nowdays.

I think Stenhouse got a raw deal. Then getting hit from behind. I guess it just wasn't his day, even though it looked like it might be in the beginning.

Posted By: SamOlson Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
Bowyer is still in it!


Hamlin looks good though, fast car.

Continuous yellow flag...

NASCAR (France family) thinks we all love pack racing & crash-'em-ups......................bad joke, not racing, just survival & luck at missing the wrecks.

Bowyer is now toast.


Frustrating finish...

Can't even get 2 laps in w/o a crash.......................this is not racing. Saturday night demolition derby.

I totally forgot it was on today due to the delay. I watched the Mahomes marathon....still watching it.

Well now. Wasn't that something?

Hope Ryan Newman is OK!.

I hope Newman is OK..............almost the exact type of wall hit that killed Dale Sr. Ugly.

As long as they are in cars that you can shove each other around with impunity that is what you'll get. Put the wheels outboard where such tshcidt will get you, yourself, upside down and cartwheeling and they won't be so quick to hit people.
Posted By: SamOlson Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
Damn, hope Newman is okay. He was upside down and cartwheeling...
Posted By: mirage243 Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
I don't like what I'm seeing fromndriver interviews, really concerned for Ryan.
Posted By: rong Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
That was a nasty crash,
I hope he is ok...scary.

Not sounding good; they brought out the black screen, hoping for better news; some news
Posted By: 700LH Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
Same thing every year crash restart crash restart at the finish,,, gotta be a better way
Posted By: 700LH Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
So your teammate is several seconds down from first and you have no chance to win, create a yellow flag and your teammate in on first places bumper at the restart.

The incentive to cheap is astounding and if I could know the truth would bet it happens fairly often

NASCAR's killing itself with these stupid rules...... - restricter plates, 'segment' races, buddy-pushing etc... It's now just a show - not racing like it used to be (and should be).. JMHO..
Posted By: Oldelkhunter Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
No separation between cars, buddy pushing and cars at their aerodynamic limits . What could possibly go wrong?

Prayers for Newman.

It's been 19 yrs since Dale's horrific crash but I do remember

He refused to wear some of the Safety Equipment that might have saved his life.
? I think he wore an Open Face helmet ?
I'm sure he would not wear the restraint harness.

I remember vividly seeing his wreck and thinking.... that's not bad enuff to kill him ! WRONG.

Rusty Wallace in an interview after a last lap incident at Richmond, “We’re race car drivers, we were going for it”.
Posted By: lastround Re: Daytona 500!! - 02/18/20
Newman is in serious condition, but not life threatening. That’s all I’ve heard.
