Is anyone watching the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race? A bizarre wreck just happened.

Casey Mears lost it in turn two and collected his teammate Dale Earnhardt, Jr., but just as Mear's car came to rest, Sam Hornish's car, who had run into Reed Sorenson, ran straight into the back of Mears' car and sent him onto his roof in a really fucking awkward incident.

Pic somewhat related, since that's Mears' car number (Not his car, though)

Hornishes car was fucked. This track is dirty as hell.

Go anyone with a blue oval on the front of the car!

waaaah, Junior is crying because the track is dirty, waaahhh

God this race is going to take a week to finish.


/is on the verge of ending his 1 year nascar watching career.

California has always been a shitty track.

It's been host to some pretty huge wrecks, though. Reuitmann and Kesolowski last year, and now Mears.

I missed it. Wish they'd quit interviewing these drivers and show it again.

Also, Tom Cruise is in the pits converting the drivers to scientology.

He starred in Days of Thunder back in 1990, and I think he might've raced in the SCCA.

Can we blame Xenu for Mears' incident?

I know it's unavoidable, but cautions due to bottom-tier drivers like Jeremy Mayfield are what I hate about NASCAR. If they have to delay the race they could at least do something useful like wreck Jeff Gordon.

The only place they would work are at Infineon and Watkins Glen (The two road courses, but NASCAR jewed out on rain tires a few years back for them), because the tires would wear out really quick on an oval.

Racing is pretty good so far for California.

That's the only reason I watch auto racing, I'm waiting for some
accidents man, I wanna see some cars one fire, I don't care about a
bunch of redneck jackoffs driving 500 miles in a circle, children can do
that for christsakes, it doesn't impress me. I wanna see some shmuck
with his hair on fire, running around punching his own head tryiung to
put it out. I wanna see the pits explode, I wanna see a car doing a
200mph cartwheel, hey, where else, besides auto racing, I am going to
see a 23 car collision and not be in the sonofabitch, And if a car flys
out of control, lands in the stands and kills 50 spectators, FINE, Fuck
'em. Serves em right, they paid to get in, let 'em take their chances
with everybody else. It just means more fun for me.

From what I saw today, some decent racing from Fontana.

Odd, right?

Actually, yes. I fucking love this new car.

Anyway, NASCAR is going to resume the race at midnight EST, 9PM local time. It's too bad my winter break is over, and I have classes tomorrow, but I'll see if I can watch it.

Yes, Montoya is made of win. Here's hoping he can string something together.

I love the new car as well. The old car was so slick that on tracks like Fontana, it made for pretty much follow the leader racing. This new car has a lot of potential.

On a related note to Casey Mears getting turned on his lid, I wonder, does the wing on the back and the bigger profile car make it easier or harder to aero-roll over? You know, where the car gets turned backwards and just catches air?

It's supposed to make it harder to flip, because the bumpers line up a lot better than they used to. With the old car, you could spin a guy just by pulling up to him close enough. Now you got to actually hit the mother fucker.

Well, I'm meaning once they've spun out.

On a related note, someone take out pretty boy Jimmie Johnson

I sat around and watched that whole race.....I came to the conclusion, that nascar needs to get rid of the whole lap cars near the front of the field and just give out two lucky dogs.
I mean, who would complain?

First off, video of Mears' flip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF6g6KgQpLg

Second off, Tony Stewart won the Nationwide race. The tapered spacer only seemed to help the racing by a little bit. God the old car fucking sucks, and the Nationwide Series is a joke. You have to go back to Stephen Leicht in tenth to see a Nationwide driver. Christ, the Cup guys have nothing to prove and they stink up the show, so just ban them from racing in that series already.

That was one of the most amazing wrecks EVER.

And the best part was we got to watch it over and over again during the Red Flag.

It never got old.

And it even involved Dale Jr., and it's still an epic crash.

Is Nascar the SPORT were they drive around in circles for 5 hours and someone who is leading the whole 5 hours can come in 2nd the very last second? And they just drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and WAIT WOH WOH HES GONNA CRAS- and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and drive and the race is over...
That gentlemen is the greatest SPORT ever made.
