Damn

 

[JBone88]

Huge hits for Jamie Mac and Jimmie..

 

[DUN24]

Big fire.

 

[DUN24]

Jimmie is shaken up..

 

[jws926]

Damn that was a hard hit

 

[jaqua19]

Jimmie looks a bit hazy

 

[lisa]

Glad they both ok.


Lordy, hard hit.

 

[JBone88]

48 lost his brakes... 1 car as well

Both guys clobbered the wall. Yikes

 

[ToyYoda]

Looks like Jimmie was down to "only" about 130 mph when he hit, but that was still a helluva shot.

 

[DSquad48]

JJ said pedal went to floor

 

[Pat]

Whoa.. JJ not walking Big hits!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pocono is not a place I'd want to wreck at. Some seriously high top-end speeds and significant breaking. A lot of hard impacts there through the years.

 

[jaqua19]

Oh commercial out of the blue haha

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I had to stop and catch my breath after Jimmie's hit. Dang.
Very happy to see both Jimmie and Jamie are mostly OK.

 

[DSquad48]

Jimmie looks a bit hazy

Sounded really shaken up on the radio. That was one of his more gnarly wrecks.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Reminds me of Gordon's 07 wreck. Lost his brakes as well.

 

[Racer1930]

JJ said he "got away with one there" and he ain't lying

 

[Kiante]

Looking at the graphic Jimmie made contact at about 125-130 mph.

Thats madness, I'm glad they are okay.

 

[StandOnIt]

JJ was driving that thing all the way to the wall. Huge hit, stuff like that makes you think about retiring at his age.

 

[Pat]

It was crossing my mind during his tv interview that a couple wires may be
touching in his head that shouldn't be. He has done well at this
track over the years.

Something is not the same.

 

[Blaze]

Damn that was a really hard hit, glad he's okay.

 

[Kiante]

Something is not the same.

Its about the most frustrated Jr has been since the McGrew days, he will be fine.

Just needs some good finishes.

 

[JBone88]

With the intense heat, and the number of guys complaining about brake issues..makes you wonder if we've seen the end of that today

Yeah...in slow-mo it looked to me like he had enough control to stick the right rear end into the barrier first - thank goodness.

I wasn't referring to morale.

Jeffery Earnhardt sponsored by Hulu?

Man, NASCAR is dead.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

All the resources in this sport & the drivers are hydrated by 1 man in his Colorado.

Cmon yall

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Why did Jamie McMurray hit the wall? Did Jamie's brakes fail like Jimmie's brakes did?

that's water cooler dale.

Gordon did the same in 07. He said he lost his brakes and remembers throwing it into the grass to break as much speed as possible. Still hit driver's side though.

 

[jws926]

Why did Jamie McMurray hit the wall? Did Jamie's brakes fail like Jimmie's brakes did?

Yes, his brakes failed as well

 

[jws926]

LOL change his undies

They both did, crazy timing.


Jimmie compared that hit to WG in the headache car. Wow.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Damn good interview from Jimmie.

 

[Kiante]

I wasn't referring to morale.

Seemed normal to me, but I'm usually wrong.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How bout 'awesome chase from the same place' in P3 from P25

Good place for a first win.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Good place for a first win.

Looking at HMS's practices & quals Im shocked hes up front at all.

Give kudos to Gustafson & team for making a good swing.
