Bristol At Night Race Thread

Looks like it is going to be one of those Bristol races. :lol:
 
That lost me some how. You start green flag pitstops with about 25 cars on lead lap. Cycle through and end up with only 8 on lead lap. That don't add up to me. :(
 
What in the world happen to Kevin. Sitting there with the doctor working on him. They said something about his arm. :(

His left arm went numb, and Kyle has replaced him.

Petty in a Chevy, WOW.
 
What a wussy Harvick is !!! His arm went numb so he can't race ??? I guess he can't take more than a few green flag laps at a time. :p

you try and race 3 races as hard as you can in one weekend and not tell me that you are hurting....
 
I don't think it would be to smart to try to drive at 125 or so with one arm. and try to shift gears at the same time. :lol:
 
I'm not a racecar driver in the cup series, he is. If he can't race all three, then he shouldn't. All of htis replacement driver crap is ridiculous. He shold not get credit for finishing the race, nor should anyone else who can't dive an entire race.

AGREE TOTALLY
 
He's not the only one who raced all 3 series. But at this point in the season, Childress is probably not going to let that happen again.
 
I have a feeling the design of the seat may have had a role in Kev's problem. The banking at Bristol caused you to be slammed down in the seat --- the rib support on the left side may have been a bit too high and consequently dug into his arm.

It may not have been noticed in practice because they didn't run long enough or hard enough to cause the problem.

Bingo!

TRL has it right...

According to Kevin, "My seat was pinching a nerve under my left bicep and it just went numb."

Anyone that has ever had a pinched nerve can relate. I pinched a nerve in my right pectoral region once and it made it where I could barely move my right arm at all.
