Did Bell lose it or was he being pushed while coming off the turn?

Timothy peters got right up on the rear of bell and got him aero loose. No contact was made until bell was already sideways.

Coming down from 28 degrees to 3 degrees of banking makes for a short, destabilizing trip!

He lost it, Peters got to him as he started going around.

Was I seeing things, or did the 4's number style look like the old Morgan-McClure style?

John Hunter lost it off of two by himself. Caution with 6 to go.

If it makes minimum speed, to hell with it.

 

[Dylan]

Green Flag with 2 to go!

 

[Dotini]

A huge wreck and an 18 year old wins!! No one on Earth could have predicted that.

 

[Dylan]

Huge crash! Crafton flips thru the air!

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Started hectic and ended hectic.

 

[ukfan758]

Crafton flips,car lands on its wheels.

 

[GTFan24]

HOLY ************!!

 

[ukfan758]

And an 18 year old wins at Daytona.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Perfect ending to a royally screwed up race.

NASCAR saved a bunch of teams some money tonight!




...not.

Looking at the replays, Crafton was very close to going roof first into the catchfence.

 

[Dotini]

There should be a cinematography award for the camera crew tonight tonight.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Crafton with a chance to win. Therefore, he gets flipped up in dramatic fashion. Glad he climbed out, though.

I'm glad Fox actually showed more than one replay, they and NBC have a history of only one or two replays for last lap crashes.

LOOK MA! NO WHEELS!

I think this was going to be the finish regardless of the structure.

Overlooking the concussions, it was likely a good day for NASCAR ratings.

I love this Kaz kid. This interview is my favorite part of the race.

"Toyota: Let's Go Places"

 

[Dylan]

Well. Now that we've seen what the stage racing is gonna be like, your thoughts?

Personally, I don't like it but it doesn't ruin the racing. It's still enjoyable to watch. So I'm looking forward to this year.

2012 Xfinity Daytona race all over again.
http://jeffgluck.com/five-minute-clock-complaints-please-stop-cant-take-it/ I agree with Jeff on the 5 minute damage clock.

 

[GTRacer22]

Perfect.

 

[BKGlover]

I love this Kaz kid. This interview is my favorite part of the race.

I enjoyed his honesty and genuineness. I hope to hear more from him in the future.

After watching the Clash and this Truck race, I think I'm on board with the repair clock. Hell, I think it can be a showcase for the pit crews, showing how well they handle adversity as much as the drivers.

I missed the segments because I was watching New Japan. I'll get to that tomorrow and Sunday.

Also, that pic above is brilliant.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I tried.

 

[Dolph Drago]

It's a good thing Crafton's truck came down on Sauter's bed and not two feet further up on his roof.

 

[NASCARGT]

I STILL don't like the segment rule or the five-minute clock, but nonetheless, congratulations to Kaz Grala on picking up his first career win. And shouts go out to Austin Wayne Self for finishing 2nd (wish there was an interview for him), Chase Briscoe for 3rd, and the Nemechek clan rounding out the Top 5.
