[crazed 9.6]

Blaney has the pole !


that is fantastic !

 

[dara]

Yeah, he and Ricky Stenhouse are hot, as well as young guns Larson and Elliott. I still want to see Danica win one, just because.

Truex Jr *
Logano
Hamlin

 

[dara]

Fiery wreck with Danica, Logano and Almirola. It looked like something broke on Joey's car causing Danica to spin, then Aric rammed Joey. Total mess and they have to cut Aric out of his car (Thank god for the safety features that stopped the fire.)

 

[dara]

Almirola getting air lifted to the hospital for observation.

 

[dara]

Good pick Orziz. Congrats to Martin Truex Jr, and stage winners Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch. Brad Keselowski powered to second. Other than that bad wreck, good race.

Next week is the All Star race on Saturday in Charlotte.

I was not able to watch most of the race last night
Had prior commitments... but I did catch some near the end and the Truex Jr win.

Catching the race now on reply.

 

[dara]

Aric Almirola was released from the hospital, but he has a compression fracture in his back, probably when his car bounced. He must have run over something that prevented him from slowing. No word on how this will affect his season.

 

[crazed 9.6]

just saw the crash.
Almirola sure did take a hard bounce, wow

 

[dara]

What's scary about these crashes is the car that looked the least beat up was the 43. Big Dale's hit didn't look like anything, and it cracked the base of his skull.
