AKIQPilot Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 What a shitshow the last 20 or so laps were. That was hard to watch. Sure hope Newman can survive that one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted February 18, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 18, 2020 some reports say he was conscious, some say not. Some say they had to preform CPR. Joe Gibbs apologized for his team celebrating in Victory Lane. He was unaware of how bad the wreck had been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed up with 20 laps to go. 3 wrecks and 2 hours later one guy is almost dead and lots of others are celebrating. Yea, hard to watch. I like racers who don't crash each other out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about it, turned tv on tonight & happened to be on that channel with one lap to go. That idiot wrecked him plain as day. Celebrating was very annoying.

Yea, hard to watch. I like racers who don't crash each other out. It's Nascar. Its about balls to the wall, give it everything you got, don't back off regardless, rubbing is racing. Wrecks are and have always been one of the major draws to the sport for fans. No one wants injuries or deaths but that's going to happen on occasion. The drivers know the risks. Other than Daytona and Talladega, most races have few wrecks these days. Some races basically have none (Michigan). Personally, I feel this lack of wrecks, risks, has lead to less action and thus less fan interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman would be the first to admit that he blocked Blaney and that Blaney was fully in his rights to keep his foot in it. Newman would have done the same. Its about seeking victory, not about considering the consequences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayout Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Early reports coming in that he’s stable. If true, that’s amazing and thank god.
