Who the fuck cares about being first
that wreck is nothing. who cares. There have been way worse. Dario's been in way worse.
i heard he broke his ankle, stupid euro
first?
oh wow, my thoughts will be with Dario and Ashley..
top 100?
Dario is NOT a nascar driver. He does INDY car racing. Geeeez
FIRST!
first?
Re: Wanda – Wanda you're wrong, he switched over to NASCAR this year.
That wreck is nothing compared to most…and get with it Wanda he IS a NASCAR driver..but well wishes to all parties involved..no points for you
Hey! That happened in my hometown. Hope he's alright!
haah wowww.
um that wasn't a bad wreck at all there have ben worse at the dega..
Oh, LOOK! Look at the cars going around AGAIN!
he's f'n hot!
hard impact yes.. the worse nascar crash.. Nope!
Dario was not involved in that big wreck. He wrecked earlier in the race and broke his ankle. Another car slammed right into the driver side of his car.
############# See the Rihanna music video where she is talking bad about her boyfriend Chris Brown. Its playing on defSpot com
would much rather watching Ashley getting "wrecked" from behind!
yawn…this site is going downhill fast
that isn't that bad of a wreck by any means
That's what he gets for trying to break into NASCAR. I can't stand Franchitti, he needs to just go back to where he came from and stay away from NASCAR. Go Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman, & Denny Hamlin!
No, go Tony Stewart!!!
what a waste of gas….shouldn't people be boycotting the stupid sport of car racing because it is horrible for the enviroment. A bunch of idiots going nowhere except in circles, for what?
um…why is everyone saying "big deal it's not the biggest crash" when car accidents themselves are serious enough -_-
people should be saying thank god he's okay. jeezus.
nascar is so fucking stupid
Re: jamie – When you start riding a bicycle and give up your car or take mass transit along with the rest of the country then maybe they would consider it. Till then shut the fuck up and get in your car you lazy fat bastard to go 1 mile to the store with your ac on! They race once a week. It makes big money so they won't listen to you. All sports look silly if you over analyze it. basketball is a bunch of 7ft freaks running up and down the court putting a ball in a small basket. If there were no bball there would be a lot of 7ft tall gas pumpers. baseball is guys in pajamas getting tan and chewing tobacco(says it all) for hours and hockey is grown men in shorts beating the crap out of each other over a urinal puck. Nascar is number 2, behind football, suck it haters! Redneck jokes are old and those who tell them have never been to a race. The biggest effect on the world is population by people so if you want to REALLY do something about the environment kill yourself asshole!
I watched that whole entire race yesteday. He did get hurt (his right ankle is broken and David Stremme had to replace him for the Sprint Cup race today)
dario sucks at nascar anyways…might as well wreck and get out of the race since he's no good. my man carl edwards wrecked too…he's way more interesting (and better looking) than dario.
Well, that's why the asshats watch the races for DON'T THEY?????
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. Even for a 5 minute ride. If not, you'll probably fly out of the vehicle or bounce around inside when it wrecks. Not a pretty sight.
He was too big a loser to make it into F1
LOL
Why did he crash… hes driving in an oval… all left turns…
with trailers in the middle lol, I thought that was a joke.
THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT!!!!
That isn't anything- Perez, you should google Michael McDowell's crash from a few weeks ago.
Re: Unknown – WOW…You are really hateful…I bet you drive a Hummer and have a really small wiener and probably voted for BUSH!
Not injured? He broke his ankle in a couple of places, and they said on ESPN he likely not going to be able to drive for about 10 weeks. I would considered that injured, wouldn't you?
Yawn…..
That is really scary! Luckely he's ok!
That new pop up is obnoxious.
Re: Wanda –
ummm, yea he is… he used to drive indy cars, but now he is a nascar driver. gosh…
Its Nascar….Not real odd that there was a wreck. AND it is in Talledega….Very competitive…..There are at least a few wrecks in most NASCAR races…..
Indy drivers should not be in NASCAR. Thats why these crashes happen it's a different car. They have all gone to NASCAR for the $$$-stay true to your sport and your cars.
Re: NASCAR is cool, dicks are not –
2 suggestions :
1- anger management
2- make some fuckin sens in your messages… try to stay coherent and not just throw up a bunch of crap.
seriously. NOT A BAD WRECK? are you guys stupid or just ignorant if you knew anything you would know that Earnhardt (Senior) had been i way worse wrecks than the one that took his life but no one says. wow that sucks but it wasnt bad! idiots dont talk until you hit concrete at 200 mph! breaking your ankle is a big deal he hit a wall and was hit so while their was not fire and flipping it was bad lets see you do it and then say it wasnt bad!
I'm a big NASCAR fan, and Dario just isn't meant for stock cars. He should go back to indycars.
Go Ryan Newman and Regan Smith, ah yeah!
Re: Wanda – Actually yes, he IS in Nascar now. He's a rookie. Get familiar.
RUBBIN IS RACIN! there have been WAY worse wrecks than that
Hey just think about what happened with Dale Earnhardt SR. Now thats a fucked up crash..
How are Ashley's tits doing?
Re: Cassie –
Oh look I'm fat and make homemade porn movies with my Daddy
It's an old video now. I've seen some details before at I n t i m a t e m i n g l e DOT C o M There also has some hot stars profile with their photoes and blogs.
Yeah, this is like a fender bender in NASCAR. The car didn't even flip or anything! BORING!
comes with the job, and he was never that great
formula1 in Manacco would laugh

This is not the wreck of the day Perez. The final lap of today's Talledega Nascar race took out dozens of cars.
Poor Dario. If only he could be recognized for being a talented driver instead of just being "Ashley Judd's husband."
no clue who ashley judd is. don't know if i should.
but the wreck wasn't that bad. it's just a shame he's gonna have to miss a few races most likely cause of his broken ankle.
Perex shut the fuck up about anything racing related. You wouldnt know a winged sprint car from a late model if they were both lodged up your ass.
That wreck was really no big deal by racing standards and certainly not by Talladega standards. Sucks to cut a tire down at 200mph, thank heavens for SAFER barriers.
Props to Stremme for manning up to fill in for the driver who took his ride and has produced nothing but eye candy for the pits.
that crash is nothing. u should have saw the f1 spanish grand prix where mclaren-mercedes driver heikki kovaleinen crashed into the tyre wall at 240km/h, or bmw sauber's robert kubica's crash at last year's canada grand prix.
Re: me –
yeah….when you strap in and get into a 3400lb machine with a finely tuned power plant on crappy goodyear tires, run a hair under 200mph on a 33 degree bank, and draft within inches of the cars around you, you can talk about how easy it is to drive in an oval and make left turns.
In fact, you don't even have to do it on a restrictor plate track. You can do it on some mamby-pampy 1.5 mile flat cookie cutter track. Then you can talk.
I realize this is all like a foreign language to you. So until you know what a restrictor plate even is, shut the fuck up.
Re: kyle busch –
Oh but Kyle, you should point out that Perez didnt even give you props for winning.
From a lap down to victory lane. That kid can race!
There's crashes every weekend, some much worse than that. Why's it suddenly newsworthy that someone crashed, just because it's Ashley's husband? Whoopdieshit, Dario crashed again. Same old, same old.
'he's not seriously injured, hopefully' ??? Run that over in your mind a few times till you finally see that using 'hopefully' that way makes no sense. What you are actually saying is ' … he wasn't seriously injured …' but he was full of 'Hope'. Stop!!! Listen to what is is you think you're saying! For GawdS sake. thank you
NASCAR IS SO POINTLESS. REDNECK NIRVANA. LOL!
Nascar is for trailer trash losers who spend the only hope of actually owning a house on a bunch of Nascar crap. The only thing worse than that is the loser tree huggers that think they know something about anything…….EAT SOME MEAT FUCKERS
Chill out, peeps. Please.
High-speed wrecks in the driver's side door are not cool. If this had happened a few years ago, Dario probably would have been seriously injured or killed. My hats off to NASCAR for making these cars safer.
Re: Fuck off –
Garsh that's funny! Considering I own my home outright with no mortgage, own my car outright, with no payment, as a single redneck nascar lovin WOMAN. Oh and don't even bother going there, the car is a 2008 and the house was built in 2007.
Next stereotype?
Re: Ann –
Is Dario crashing in stock cars even if he's Ashleys husband even noteworthy anymore? Happens pretty much every times he straps in!
Why is this clip soooooo fffffffiiinnnggg long?!
What a waste of gas!!!
ASHLEY HAS BEEN ""BANGED"" LOTS OF TIMES
That is nothing..I have seen worse..I seen where a car was going 195 mph flipped 7 times..Driver walked away with a shoulder out of place now that is what I call a race
if you have ever watched nascar, you know that wreck is NOTHING compared to other wrecks…infact there was a worse one either last week or the week before where the car flipped 5 or 6 times. and the guy came out unharmed. flippage like that hasn't happened in years b/c of all the new technology. and if it wasn't for the device that was pretty much made standard after dale sr. died in a wreck, that guy wouldn't have lived either.
Re: Wanda – you fail. this is a nascar race. get your facts straight before you go blabbering again.
Re: me – ..his tire blew up
He did a great job keeping his car on the track and not flipping or going airborne.. wow…
its only fun when they get hurt =P
Re: palmettogirl – you wrote exactly what i was thinking palmetto girl and the only reason it is on this website is because he is married to ashley judd, this wreck was nothing i mean nothing in comparison to the wrecks that Nascar is known for.
I couldn't care less. The only way I'd care is if it crashed head first right into Tom Cruise killing him instantly as it flipped and rolled on to the grassy oval center of the track and landed on Oprah Winfrey, also killing her instantly. Butttt that's just me. I'm not owning it or anything. Just putting it out there. You know? Just putting it out there. Yep.
My favourite song is 'Your Nobody Called Today' by Sylvia. It makes me feel all in my "safe place" when I listen to it. Oh. You have to imagine me saying that in a sassy Stewie Griffin way when you read that. Oh… what was I talking about originally again? Oh, well. Couldn't have been important.
Re: POINTLESS SPORT – Well said.
Fucking scum; damn NASCAR jerks.
"Subtle innuendos follow. Must be something inside."
Heikki Kovalainen's crash in the Spanish F1 Grand Prix yesterday was worse than this.
HE DID GREAT HANDLING THE ACCIDENT AND KEEPING HIS CAR MOSTLY UNDER CONTROL TIL THAT IDIOT IN YELLOW BROADSIDED HIM
Heikki Kovalanian hit the wall at 26 gG yesterday. "The force was 26G - that is 26 times your body weight. It is a higher G-force than you get if you are strapped into the ejector seat of a military aircraft."Thank god Heikki seems to be ok.
