I don’t know much about nascar driving etiquette. If someone’s driving all over the track and blocking like that should they expect to be bumped and wrecked?



It’s the last lap of the Daytona 500. They know what blocking can lead to, but they will do it to win.

Heard crowd cheering but couldn’t see much. One of Newman’s crew said he didn’t know if he was okay as he walked by. A Penske employee told me he is awake. #Daytona500


I don’t think that employee would have given that bad of news in passing to a person in our road that he doesn’t know.

Probably just answered, “yeah” in a sort of shocked/dismissive way

It’s awful. It happened right in front of us. I don’t think he survived.


I’m afraid you’re friend will be proven right. I pray not though. But after he flipped upside down and got hit squarely right on his window.... that didn’t look survivable to me.

But the answer is yes, though.

What meaning can clearing the media from the pit areas imply?

That media are assholes and will speculate a story whether true or not true and it's better to give them as little to speculate on as possible

Yep and NASCAR expects them to put on a show for the fans...

Hamlin coming out of his car had subdued demeanor just winning the biggest race of the year 1/100 of a second

That pic to me makes it look like they cut him out of the side of the car, they used to cut the roofs off but it’s been so long since anything like this that may have changed
