Gibbs, Haley and Hamlin just passed 20 cars in one lap!

 

[BobbyFord]

Nobody expected this.

Hemric ARCA braked into that

Plate racing isn’t the problem. The drivers being idiots is the problem.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Damn, that was nasty.

Talladerby

Fixed it

Merci Dieu.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Not even surprised at who caused it

 

[Brentford]

Surviving the huge one all but locked Byron into the next round.

Yeah this happens every race at every track right? 20+ car pileups

Red Drapes? Context, please.

The point went sailing over your head. These wrecks are caused by boneheaded moves.

 

[nascarwoman]

Who is NOT in the wreck. Looks like almost everyone.

 

[Efisher131]

Daniel Hemric still hasn’t lifted

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Brad has caused his share of wrecks but that wasn't on him, Logano was right on his bumper and pushed him into Cindric.

 

[BobbyFord]

The damn France’s??

The point went sailing over your head. These wrecks are caused by boneheaded moves.

At other tracks, only 1-2 cars are taken out by boneheaded moves.

Drapeau = Flag

Maybe if they didn't have the extra pressure of PLAYOFFS!!!

I say it’s maybe a combination of both tbh. The bonehead moves definitely cause it, but if they weren’t in a big pack it wouldn’t happen either.

Bandera roja

Red flag?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Bucky Brad takes out the entire field. A big one at Dega and Larson doesn’t get collected, maybe fate smiles upon the the 5

 

[FLRacingFan]

Is it actually a plate race if Brad and/or Joey don’t wreck at least half the field at some point?

 

[Naitch]

At other tracks, only 1-2 cars are taken out by boneheaded moves.

Being able to handle racing in a pack is a skill that used to not be in short supply.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

That’s unavoidable. Joey beating down Brad’s bumper and Cindric is going a couple mph slower. Recipe for a accident

 

[Mike Crayne]

That wasn't Brads fault.

 

[kkfan91]

Well that was wild and right in front of me

 

[SeventyGTX]

Larson skated out of it, barely.

Scheduled snack break.

Okay, what was the stupid move that caused this?

Thanks.

 

[Efisher131]

These giant wrecks have been happening since they put plates on them. Don’t fool yourself. Go back and watch Rusty flip through the trioval at Dega in 93 or Tony Stewart tumble over cars down the backstretch at Daytona in 2001.

 

[KTMLew01]

Scheduled snack break.

You know I just had teeth pulled? Why you hurt me like that?

 

[StandOnIt]

Okay, what was the stupid move that caused this?

Roger Penkse's fault.

When exactly?
These 20 car wrecks didn't start happening 3 years ago.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

As long as they have bread, wine, and blood on the ground the idiot crowd will cheer. Long live Talladega.

 

[Naitch]

Okay, what was the stupid move that caused this?

Thanks.

I would argue that Gilliland should have moved to the apron to let the field go by. He disrupted the airflow and make things go squirrelly.

 

[Brentford]

That’s the perfect excuse to eat ice cream and pudding!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Dale Jarrett and Jimmie Johnson on the Peacock Pit Box are thinking “thank god I don’t do this $hit anymore”
