I can't believe I missed Rodan! :cuss:

Why didn't you tell me it was on?

So I was told that the "debris" that prompted NASCAR to throw the caution last week was a water bottle. Can anyone confirm this?

There you are!!!!

LOL

I think you're right ...

Okay then, was this some type of new-fangled square or triangle shaped water bottle? Because I'm fairly certain a round one would simply roll to the bottom of the track where it would do no harm.

Welcome to NASCRAP DOT COM

Sincerely,

The France Family

How long is Danica gonna last behind the wheel today?

TIA & GB

Oh boy: 24 70 Johanna Long # Foretravel Chevrolet

Hornish already waving the white flag?

Scanners are Free today

I'm surprised that none of the drivers got strung out

caution Johanna Long blew her engine

Uh oh ... three-wide

getting racy

CAUTION, CAUTION IS OUT

crash! Hard lick!

5-6 + cars?

Someone hit the wall pretty hard.

Scanner:

Crash! Kurt Busch, Josh Richards, Brian Scott. Scott took a hard impact into the outside wall. Morgan Shepherd in it too

Dale Jr: "The 87 turned us pretty big side ways and that's why we fell back."

Edit: 87 is Nemechek -- who would have thunk? LOL

Isn't Morgan Shepard like 80 yrs old?

Scanner: Danica says

"I got no problem with pushing but I don't want to get way up front and then fall back with the pack all over us,"

LMAO close

Morgan Shepherd - King of the start-and-park crowd

I bought a pint of blue berries (this morning) - $4.99

Why so expensive?

the back pack is an accident waiting to happen

OMG: Logano almost took out the first 20 cars leading the race ...

He's not good on superspeedway tracks

CAUTION

Brad Sweet hard into the wall - several cars involved in the back of the pack

"Saw that coming they were all crazy" ... Danica's spotter

Danica says, "Where are we at in this rodeo?" LOL

Edit: Danica's spotter is doing a great job of talking her through the race - Amazing.

She's running 10th.

The "Big One" is coming out

Less than 30 laps to go

They're racing for position

Get him Jr.

stonedstooge: you can listen in on Junior's scanner

Free: http://www.nascar.com/nationwide-series/trackpass/app/

Danica's spotter is great --

Thanks Dylan.

You're Welcome! Love listening in

20 to go. The top 5 are nose to tail. Kyle Busch continues to lead, Junior 2nd followed by 87, 3 and 6

Wow... White knuckle racin'

Lots of fast cars today

8 laps to go - can Kyle hold out? They ain't f ing around



Edit: Caution, caution is out - Bliss had a tire go down. Sadler has damage

Uh oh, the restart is gonna get crazy.

RCR on radio to Dillon: "You're doing great. No pressure, but if Kyle wins, you're out of the will."

LMAO

Watch out for the 18

Wow... If that was Cup - 20 type A (personality) drivers would have been involved in that crash LMAO

Jr. loses 12 spots in half a lap. Damn

14? into the wall friggin HARD

That was a hard hit on the inside wall

THE BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUGE WRECK

Who's left?

Hope the drivers are ok!

All I can see is a bunch of ambulances on the track

OMG - Hope Eric McClure is ok

That was an unbelievably scary hit for McClure -

He's still in the car - They're working on his car.

Please be ok!!!

They're peeling back the roof... Oh Lord.

Got to have some broken bones in that hit at the minimum

Hoping the best for McClure. It was a very hard hit - Eric is still in the car.

Why won't they show the replay?

Because of the injury to McClure

Not a good sign ...

I thought when Wheldon got killed last year in the Indy cars they showed the replay several times before it was announced he had passed. Guess I don't see what the difference is.

Seems McClure never slowed - I'm not sure who pushed him out of line

Drivers involved in accident, McClure, Danica, Jeff Earnhardt, Keselowski, Harvick, + three other drivers ...

Pack racing is great but sometimes this is the result.

McClure airlifted to UAB Medical Center for further treatment.

NASCAR does things differently than Indy.

Called it

Nascar controls the TV broadcast?

Pro tip: The same company that aired the Wheldon race is airing this race.

You never want to be leading on the last lap. 2nd is the best position.

Congrats to Logano - great slingshot

hush, Bug

Holy crap, Danica put Hornish into the wall.

Heh, Danica will have a nice little chat with Nascar

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Danica was not happy with freakin' Hornish after being put in wall. Gave him a little payback - hooked him into the wall! LMAO

You go girl!!!

Thoughts and prayers for Eric McClure

Eric McClure is airlifted to UAB Medical Center after a scary crash

It's been a long time that a driver in NASCAR had to be immediately put on a stretcher and airlifted to the hospital.

Eric Mcclure being kept overnight at UAB Hospital ... Talking with family members. #NASCAR 9:57 PM - 5 May 12

Turn on NBC 11:30 p.m. ET

Eli Manning hosting Saturday Nite Live http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-14836.gif

Thanks for the one minute warning. :rolleyes:

Bug, I almost missed it. Eli in drag - Miss Chicken Fried Steak. This made the night. The writing in some of these skits was awful. Big Brother and Banana Dick was funny.

Ralph Vacchiano ‏ @TheBlueScreen (New York Daily News)
The "Little Brother" skit was hilarious, but I'm going to have nightmares about that picture of Eli and that banana. #NYG

http://i47.tinypic.com/2lbl4k4.gif

Eli really was a good sport.

Sounds like weather may be an issue today.

Bug,

The dryers are out on the track.

Talladega Weather http://www.wunderground.com/radar/ra...=9999&smooth=0

Someone better keep an eye on Montoya then...

I like the Aarons paint scheme on the 55 today.

3 Roush cars are sponsored by Fastenal today :-s

Anyone know the current status of the track? I haven't been paying attention.

Why the **** are they talking about baseball?

Track is damp, jet dryers still out.

Eh, it will be at least another hour then.

Yeah pretty much, more drinking time I guess.

THEY TALKED TO TONY, WHAT MORE YOU WANT?????

Heh, I love how they talked about how he "let one get away" last week. Uhhh...he had that one stolen from him.

Did anyone else catch that kid grabbing some titty?

It's about to start, national anthem being performed.

Missed it, rewind

How's the kid that hit the wall yesterday?

Ron White is washed up, has been.

According to the latest reports, McClure was awake and talking - There is not much you can read into his injury.

Watching the replay of this accident makes me wonder if Eric's throttle didn't get stuck wide open. Unlike all the other cars which seemed to slow down their speed.

McClure's family operated the Morgan-McClure Motorsports team for many years in the Sprint Cup Series:

Inmem58, who is Ron White?

Why is Bass Pro Shops on Newman's car today?

Thanks Dylan

You're welcome!

Bass Pro Shops must be one of their sponsors.

Martin Truex, Jr's family owns Bass Pro Shops.

He's a comedian, he did the "gentlemen start your engines".
