Awesome to see Newman battling for the lead.
Hopefully his car is still intact going into lap 200.

I'm an idiot.

Byron almost turned over, yikes!

 

[KodiakRusty89]

And back to golf.

Spieth's wrecking too...

 

[Barbara Charles]

What??? David Ragan, too. My support of a driver must be a curse.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Preece got through by not much more than a hair.

 

[Nitro Dude]

DAMN

 

[Pat]

This sucks. All those teams out in 14 laps.

 

[superchuck500]

Welp that sucked.

 

[jws926]

Newmans car kept Bryons car from going over

 

[DanicaFreak]

I said no wrecking the other series

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Lightning, bringing them to pits

 

[Mispeedway15]

Hmm I’m shocked that car went completely sideways just by being pushed. It was a solid one but whoa

 

[Magnethead]

That was sooner than I expected

 

[2019PensekeFan]

From bad to worse.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Now for 180 laps of single file racing until the tri-oval on the final lap where a driver almost dies

 

[DewChaser988]

What happened to Blaney is why I'm #TeamValance

 

[KodiakRusty89]

At least viewers got to see an awesome wreck before the red flag for weather. Social media will be abuzz!!

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I wonder how early in the Daytona 500 the earliest "big one" has been?

 

[Efisher131]

Yay plate/spacer racing

 

[Allen Gamble]

I can't beleive the big 'un already happened

No wreck is awesome.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

So did Bell just earn his black hat and JGR stripes?

Dude come on..

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Not sure the 500. The 400 was lap 2 in 1990 which took at Petty who qualified near the front.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

From bad to worse.

So now they stop for half an hour, basically inviting the rain out.

Fantastic.

 

[2019PensekeFan]

I'm an idiot.

The Racing-Forums jinx strikes again.

 

[Kiante]

Need to be reminded its a marathon and not a sprint sometimes.

What a mess.

 

[Turtle84]

the obvious just pushing way too hard too early...

 

[Hotrod]

Good news bad news :
Bad - your out of the 500
Good - load up and head out , no sitting around for weather.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Dude come on..

Have you not watched plate races within the past 10 years?

 

[MikeInIllinois]

As usual with these big ones, the one that starts it is sitting in 2nd place.

Have you always been this bloodthirsty and I'm just noticing, or has COVID cabin fever set in?

 

[DanicaFreak]

My pickem pick..

Smart move! Eliminate the opposition while strengthening your position! Great 4 wheel warfare tactics!

 

[DanicaFreak]

I don’t want to hear about the d word

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Have you always been this bloodthirsty and I'm just noticing, or has COVID cabin fever set in?

Nope! But i've fully realized the last 3-4 years it's about the wrecks and the chaos. Once you embrace it you'll enjoy it far more!

 

[Clutch]

Was that Almirola cutting in front of the 48 that caused that?

 

[RT1981]

Now for 180 laps of single file racing until the tri-oval on the final lap where a driver almost dies

these guys are not patent to run single file for that long we will see another one before this is over.

 

[Biggreen695]

Good thing we had an hour long pre race after the pre race show. Couldn't have lived without the Mikey grid walk or whatever the **** they call it
