Yep It looked like a crash from 10 years ago.

Huge, HUGE(!) wreck. Glad to see Edwards is ok, and he even got out and ran to the finish line and 'finished' the race I'm sure the video will be up on Youtube soon. Hate to see it for Carl but he tried to block but Brad K. was already there.

Indeed
my eyes went like:eek:

I would have to say that that just proves that they aren't the car of tomorrow or the car of today they are the car of Takeoff <.< >.>

At 190+ MPH, spinning out will likely result in getting airborne no matter what you drive. Didn't help that Newman plowed right into Edwards' car too. Thankfully the safety fence did it's job and the (COT) car did its as well.

Not sure how to adjust the size of the box/border here on RD but click the video to watch it in all its HD glory on Youtube.

It was insane! A few feet higher and I swear it would of went into the stands. There was me thinking the nationwides was a race full of accidents!

9 fans were injured in that Carl Edwards crash.

I was watching it with a friend and the commentators were saying nothing got through the fence which we disagreed with. When they slowed it down you could see plenty of stuff come off the car and go through the fence. Freak crash but one of his own making, he never should have come back down, you can clearly hear his spotter tell him he had a car inside.

Going for the win, i would have tried to at least force him below the line...but at least he admitted to blocking and said Keselowski did nothing wrong.

 

[Richard Kay]

But the thing is if he'd stayed up he probably would have still got it to the line first. I love the way he still insisted on crossing the line though, the guy's got character for sure.

last night was a great finishing at the Michigan Speedway, with Mark Martin taking the win while the 2 front runners (Greg Biffle & Jimmie Johnson) ran out of fuel on the last lap


Now a sad news in the Nascar Mexican devision
Sunday we saw a Mexican driver, Carlos Pardo, loosing his life in a horrible crash at the Puebla oval
I saw the crash, but due to the crash being a bit shocking, I prefer not post it here

If you want to see it, just google it

O.o That was a huge crash, not nice to see. Points to some stupid track design though - weird wall placement!

Good Ole Puebela old rubbish Tarmac for WTCC and Poor walls for Nascar Mexican Series.
