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.
 


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.
 
Kevin Harvick won the Kobalt 400, Martin Truex Jr was second, Ryan Newman finish third while Dale Earnhardt Jnr and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top five respectively. Only one car retired which was the car driven by Alex Bowman.

Some very lucky pit crew members in todays Xfinity race at Richmond.Brendan Gaughan pitted and as his car was being refueled it went up in a fireball



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.
 
Same thing happened to Winterbottom at Bathurst a few years ago when been refuelled.

Jack Daniels crew member got burnt
 
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.
