Jeff has real bad luck when I comes to hitting walls without SAFER barriers. Las Vegas 2008 (I think), Richmond 2011 and now Atlanta 2015

I remember the Vegas one, not the Richmond one though. Pretty sure he had a big hit at The Glen a few years ago too.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Doesn't look as severe but would hurt like a bitch. I watched an interview with driver a while back who said those side on hits to concrete felt like a full body slap, and you would be stinging all over.

^^ safer's ??

The never ending race finally ended more than 9 hours after it was due to start.
Quote of the year from David Ragan "If you run with the squirrels you're bound to pick up some nuts"

Fox Sports commentator Steve Byrnes lost his cancer battle.
The race at Bristol on the weekend was dedicated to him.

Gaughan's rear tyre changer and fuel man,who you see catch fire,got burn't but not badly as did a crew member from Eric McLure's car,who was the pit bay behind them.

Nasty crash in the ARCA race at Talladega.



Brad Smith,the guy collected by the spinning car,ended up with a fractured ankle.
It seems his throttle stuck.

There was a big pile-up in this mornings Xfinity race at Talladega.If you watch Brendan Gaughans black and yellow car you'll see it crashes into the pitlane wall.Something came flying off it and has injured two of Aric Almirola's [ironically he probably caused the whole thing] pit crew who were behind the wall.
