Seems like this is pretty much all Ambrose now. Unless Aj and Kurt find some speed, I don't think they've got anything for the 9 car.

 

[GTPorsche]

Yeah, and with most of the field now on the same strategy as him, he's gonna be untouchable unless he catches Jeff's miserable luck.

 

[Doodle]

A shame for Jeff.

 

[The Bman]

Jeff hasn't had good luck at Watkins Glen in the past 13 years.

 

[Cale]

Wtf Gordon out, Kes out... Come one AJ. I don't wanna see Ambrose win.

 

[Blitz24]

Newman, McDowell, Patrick, Bowman.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Newman and McDowell just both hit the wall. Hard.

 

[Doodle]

Don't worry guys, Jimmie Johnson is in the lead!!!!!

And oh my god that crash.

 

[Furinkazen]

Huge wreck.

 

[GTPorsche]

Wow.. that was a wicked wreck for Newman, but i guess he's ok since he tried to get the car moving. McDowell had it hard as well.

 

[ukfan758]

My goodness that was a horrible crash just then, hope they are okay.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

That Armco is absolutely destroyed! Race Red-Flagged.

 

[Doodle]

I think I saw Jeff Gordon back on track. Not 100% sure though.

 

[Blitz24]

This Red flag will be extensive.

Good that Newman is checking on McDowell.

Gordon is on track, 4 laps down.

 

[Johnny1996]

There's a hole in the Armco!

 

[JMoney]

Holy crap!

 

[AnthonyD1993]

And Michael walked away from it. That is a huge testament to the safety of these cars.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

The whole rear axle on McDowell's car ripped right out of there.

 

[Blitz24]

In the stupid department, Bowman just took out his front end on the 32. Absolutely mind boggling.

 

[Müle]

… And anotger reason why Nascar should use the boot.

 

[Gerarghini]

Points for David Ragan's crash-avoiding drift

 

[GTPorsche]

Where did Danica's damage come from? It didn't look like she hit anything just then...

 

[nascarfan1400]

"Michael McDonalds"

/)_- Hungry, Allen?!

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Probably from all the debris that was strewn across the track. At least, that's the only logical scenario that I can think of.

 

[Johnny1996]

Well guys, I don't think I need to tell any of you that this is going to be one long red flag.

 

[Unibob]

That was a truly horrifying wreck. The #31 and #95 not just destroyed, but obliterated, along with both guard rails. I'm glad to see both drivers get up and walk away, though McDowell needed help. I never like seeing this, but it does show how much the safety of these cars has improved over the past couple of decades, especially in the past decade. This will be a lengthy Red Flag while the track is being repaired.

 

[ukfan758]

The way the blue car hit the wall was just brutal, it looked like the was on its side as well. Hopefully they straighten the barriers next year.

They can't really change that barrier unless they redo the boot.

 

[Suzumiya]

McDowell is indestructible...

 

[The Bman]

Those guardrails need some more beef to them. You could drive full-throttle right into them and punch a massive hole.
