Just my luck I had Edwards in a race pool. He wrecked himself.

Yep, he did it to himself. I was super pissed when it happened and thought Kesolowski bumped him out of the way but after watching the replays I had second thoughts. If Carl had just stayed low and let him try to pass on the outside, I think he would've won it.

Oh, but not just any wreck, CD ...

... an abos-freakin'-lutley s-p-e-c-t-a-c-u-l-a-r high-flyin' aerobatic spectstors-crappin'-in-their-pants maylay ... and everyone walked away with nary a scratch!

Now ... that, my friend, is a truely NASCAR-style havoc-wreakin' wreck! One for the record books, for sure ... ;) ...

Whether or not you like NASCAR, or any kind of auto racing, you gotta admit ... that was an awesome spectacle ...!

CHEERS!

Indeed...

At least both Edwards and Keselowski were honest about it; it was no one's fault, really, but Edwards'. And I like Edwards. One of the things I like about him is his ability to say, "Hey, I messed up" and his ability to win. He just got a little too block-happy this time.

Amazing how the catch fencing help up.

I was telling my gf that that was why this is now a restrictor-plate race. That track would be damned bit faster without the plates, and the catch fencing might not be strong enough, nor tall enough. Image

Our local paper this morning said that the fan injuries were mostly cuts a brusies, except the one with a broken jaw!
