Damn Bubba, hope he’s alright

 

[34R7H130UND]

Hell of a hit

 

[DewChaser988]

Bubba's getting out of the car under his own power, he just had the wind knocked out of him
he's fine,

 

[ToyYoda]

Glad to see that net come down.

 

[BobbyFord]

Holy crap that was a hit. Right front?
Glad Bubba is ok.

 

[jws926]

So glad to see that net drop

 

[kkfan91]

So glad he dropped the net

 

[donthaveanickname]

Ouch! That hurt.

 

[Fordracing7]

Thank God

 

[HoneyBadger]

Response time was unacceptable.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good news!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hard hit for Bubba. Glad to see that window down

 

[DSquad48]

Looked like 48 crash from last year. Lost brakes?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ugly hit, Bubba’s hurt

 

[DUN24]

God what a lick. Glad he’s alright.



Pretty nervous about this restart. Lots of desperation.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good to see him walking.

 

[kkfan91]

That's like Gordon's years ago

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Jesus, him sitting down and the angle of the camera makes it look like he is trapped under the car.

 

[jws926]

Damn, he looked like he got hit by wrecking ball, geebus that was a hard hit.

 

[jaqua19]

JJ drives a 17th place car to a top 10 but hes washed up and cant drive.

If he had the speed the big 3 do, anyone who thinks the 48 wouldnt be the favorite is kidding themselves.

That said, we are getting a 2 time champ this year..finally.

Glad he got out of that car.

 

[Pat]

Took too long for the net to go down. Dang that was a hard hit. Glad he got out but looks like he is limping.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Looked like Jimmie's last year.

Turn 1 is brutal here...

 

[Mopardh9]

Holy crap that was bad!

 

[CodeMan125]

Looked just like Jimmie's wreck when his brakes failed on him.

 

[DSquad48]

Gotta fight that instinct to turn left...lucky he didn’t end up head on.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Wow that could have been much worse. Bubba did a good job minimizing the impact.

 

[DUN24]

Imagine that life-or-death left turn. Goodness.

 

[BobbyFord]

Good to see him walking.

Gingerly. He has some injuries.
Glad to see him upright.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Holy. $hit. I think even as recent as 15 years ago he doesn’t make it out of that car, the safety innovations of these cars now....thank goodness

 

[StandOnIt]

He drove it all the way best he could have done geesh

 

[ChexOrWrex]

That's like Gordon's years ago

Mirror image. Did the same thing and threw it into the grass to slow the car down. I’m sure Jeff is watching and was happy to see him get out on his own.

 

[BobbyFord]

SAFER walls. EVERYWHERE.

 

[Pat]

Dang! hurts me to watch that.

 

[Mopardh9]

What was bubba doing in grass?

 

[DewChaser988]

Glad, Bubba's okay, that was a huge hit, thank NASCAR for the HANS Device and SAFER Barrier

 

[jws926]

What was bubba doing in grass?

Trying to scrub off some speed before hitting the wall.

Or just lost control and that is where the car went.

 

[DSquad48]

SAFER walls. EVERYWHERE.

No excuse to not have them at this point. The benefits are huge.

 

[gnomesayin]

Very relieved he is relatively ok and thankful for SAFER barriers and all of the other safety initiatives. For all the crap I and others give him, Earnhardt was right to credit Burton for being a very vocal proponent of that sfuff during his career.
