Gruesome beginning, spectacular ending.

 

This is one of the few events we watch so attentitively and are in a better mood after watching it. Almost anything worth watching these days ends with tragedy.

Earnhart's fatal wreck was not even a fraction of the severity as this, just a few years too soon. Something had to put an end to his success :[ Gnarly.

 

 

whats up with hating on the legends son, I don't watch the sport anymore so I don't know his standings, how's he doing?

 

Because he is nothing more than the son of a dead guy...and is over rated.

 

Junior is just as good as any other NASCAR driver with the best team.

 

I don't even know how to address this comment.....

I sense a lot of Jr. bashing from Stewart fans, who now either have to root for a Toyota, or now have to root for Big Ears...

Either way, Jr. is not over rated. He has the talent, and is showing it this year. Just needed to get out from under the wicked step mothers' control.

 

You are correct!...........Junior has as much talent if not more than anybody else out there!..........

 

He's finally on a team that appreciates his talent.

 

McDowell's wreck as a whole was a lot worse, but Gordon's initial hit was harder because of the angle of the wall, although not by much. It will be interesting to see if they release the g force numbers on his hit.

I have never understood the people that bitch about Jr. He isn't the best driver out there, but he is in the top 10 - 12 for sure. He will get everything he needs to win at Hendrick. He just needs to learn to quit chewing up his equipment 2/3's of the way through the race.

 

Let me clarify some things..

1. terrifying wreck, glad hes ok
2. COT or not, the sport is just as dangerous
3. Go Dale Jr.

 

Wrong grasshopper.

Earnhart's impact was worse. The best thing to happen to Mcdowell yesterday was he hit a "soft wall" and the car flipped, which in turn dissapated much of the force.

Dale hit a concrete wall at roughly the same speed and stopped.

Question:

What or even, who do you think aborbed the force of that impact?
