Re: palmettogirl – The device you are avoiding naming, is called the Hans device and dear, please allow me to educate you a little on the wrecks in Nascar. Flipping a car, releases energy and less harm to the driver. A head on collosion is deadly. It is a blunt force trauma which kills most drivers. While the flipped cars make a better show, it's not what scares these drivers. Head on into the wall, that's a Nascar drivers worse nightmare. Consider yourself informed.
Re: Wanda – Actually this is Dario's FIRST season in NASCAR, you shouldn't comment on something you don't know. Next time check your facts before you open your mouth and act like you know better because you don't.
There have been way worse wrecks than that one, did you see the one with Casey Mears a couple months ago that one was a lot worse.
Re: Brooke – When was the last time YOU hit concrete at 200 MPH. Until you have maybe you should shut up. It wasn't a bad wreck there HAVE been worse. And even NASCAR said that the senior crash wasn't bad, if he would have been wearing the right safety gear he would still be alive.
Re: Sara – That one scared the hell out of me. Casey's car on it's side with Sam Hornish's car on fire preventing Casey from getting out… I don't need to see any more of that.
Stremme deserves a lot of credit for stepping up and helping out an ex-owner that basically screwed him out of a cup career. I wanted Stremme to win so he could prove Ganassi wrong, at the same time I hate seeing Ganassi win anything.
If you thought that was bad you should have seen Heikki Kovalainen's wreck in the F1 grand prix the other day….. statisically, he should be dead, but he surivived (thank God).
This is nothing compared to that.
