        Travis Pastrana finishes 10th. He looked pretty composed today for his first restrictor plate race. Can't wait to watch him drive all season in Nationwide. Maybe he could have finished top 5 had some of those faggots actually teamed up with him for the draft.

        Mental note: I wont be buying any front row tickets for when me and my buddies go to Circuit of the Americas for the US Grand Prix lol.

          Hopefully tomorrow is just as exciting as today's race.

            Bad bad wreck. People are saying a tire ended up in the upper deck.

            Here is the USA Today pic right at impact:
             


            That is scary as shit.

                That is a crazy impact to launch that tire there. Those cars are so safe. Hard to see what you could do more to protect the fans more at the super speedways.

                    Sounds like at least one person is died/is on the brink of death. Sad.

                    Was a very good final 15 laps though.

                        Just saw an amateur video of the wreck. A tire lands next to the guy taking the video. Couldn't see anything about severity of injury of the guy who got hit by the tire.

                        EDIT: Apparently cut his leg and was burned badly according to the twitter account of the person who shot the video. Also nascar blocked the amateur video.

                        Also holy crap I don't think that official camera guy filming the race can be okay. The video showed him at the start shooting the race and when it eventually went back to the whole in the wall after the wreck him and the camera were gone. Hoping he got out of the way.

                            EDIT: The 11 fans taken to Halifax are all stable. SPEED hasn't updated on the others.

                              I don't know how you could sit so close. I've been to 3 races and didn't want to go anywhere near the lower levels. My ears were about to bleed
