And that last flip came right down on the roof area above the driver.

That crash looks like something out of a Micheal Bay movie

I honestly didn’t believe these cars could lift off by themselves like that anymore.

Wow how the frick did get out of that car. By the grace of God, man that was violent


Flips like that are the ones they usually walk away from. All of those flips and impacts on the corners of the car bleed off impact forces. Its the wreck where the car looks fairly intact and it was just a sudden stop that hurts you the most.

Looking at the replay, he’s very fortunate that the car spent a lot of time in the air instead of impacting any more than it did.

Holy crap what a ride. Glad to see him get out. He’s on a stretcher but glad he’s alert.

When was the last time a car took a tumble?

I counted 10 times the roof was nearest the ground as it rolled. Announcer also said 10. In any event, it was a lot of flips.

Yeah J.D. McDuffie at Watkins Glen in 1991, when his car hit the wall and came to an absolute dead stop, you knew it was very bad.

Harrison Burton rolled it last year at the Daytona 500. It was nothing like that though.

In the Cup Series, I believe it was Buescher in last year’s Coke 600. He spun into the grass, hit a drain cover just right and it tossed his car into the air.
