ckf Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 57 minutes ago, Blackstar said: The 2 deaths were only 8 weeks apart and the accidents were very similar. Both hit the turn 3 wall, both suffered fractured skulls and died on impact. In both cases it was suspected the throttle hung wide open. Nascar mandated the steering wheel kill switch immediately after but didn't bring in the Hans device until Earnhardt died the following spring. That was a bad year. I was at the one restrictor plate race a NHMS after Adam's death. Talk about a snooze fest. I think Jeff Burton led every single lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to speculate on just how good he might have been and how it would have affected Nascar to have a Petty in the top tier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice spot...I had to run out so I missed the finish but they are replaying the race right now. Good for the rookie Custer...nice to see some different names winning and in the top 10 even if I didn’t pick any of them.🤣 Nice top tens for Reddick and C Bell.

Absolutely and he’s one of those guys that brings credibility to any series because he is such a pure racer and will wheel pretty much anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted July 16, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 16, 2020 The Cup Series cars competing in Wednesday night’s All-Star Race at the Tennessee track will be featuring the kind of underglow lighting that was popular when “The Fast and the Furious” film series debuted almost two decades ago. Fox Sports even used an edited clip from the movie to promote its broadcast of the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
