Dave Blaney may be about to win the 500.

And Landon Cassil and Tony Raines will be in 2nd and 3rd! :O

If I'm not mistaken - the track is a mixture of asphalt and concrete...the heat below the mess may not have destroyed it. Cleanup will take time though.

Was Juan trying to bump draft?

With a columbian twist.

I thought the SAFER Barriers were aluminum? Joy just said they were steel?

I doubt aluminum could take those hits.

I want to see Tony Raines get this since I picked him the other day on here and on twitter after the Nationwide race

FenderBumper · Feb 28, 2012

Wow, Kez lost 7 or 8 positions in the pits.

StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing · Feb 28, 2012

NASCAR is going to do everything they can to get this race going again. There's no way they want to face this embarrassment if it ends like this. Ending the race on rain is one thing but this is a joke.

Racer1930 · Feb 28, 2012

Running order:.......Blaney - Cassill - Raines...I don't think so...they will get this going again

Target just tweeted they will help him with that.

FenderBumper · Feb 28, 2012

I have Kenseth, Jr, Blaney and Bowyer. Clints gonna hurt me pretty bad.

BobbyFord · Feb 28, 2012

Plate race is a crapshoot. Even DW has a shot at this thing....

RCR4Life · Feb 28, 2012

What a dumby

ROFL!

I WANT TO SEE THE 200 LAPS

Racer1930 · Feb 28, 2012

So why do you hit one of those jet dryer thingys in the first place?

FenderBumper · Feb 28, 2012

....to forever be know as the Fireball 500.

Mopardh9 · Feb 28, 2012

I see some safety procedures being changed after this.

MOEJOE · Feb 28, 2012

My man got killed by a bonehead at 1.5 laps!

VaDirt · Feb 28, 2012

This incident trumps the pothole fiasco from a couple years ago.

To get free gas?

VaDirt · Feb 28, 2012

So if someone wins a rain shortened race, people say the win should have an asterisk by it. So what the hell would this call for?

How? The pothole was avoidable. Juans drive train locked and threw him into the truck.

#17D500winner · Feb 28, 2012

I've got Kenseth, Biffle, Truex and Armirola.

The best thing they can do to improve safety is to keep Montoya out of a stock car :/

A candle?

Holy Cow - what a F'n mess

I'm guessing no speeding up to catch the field near safety equipment

He's hit everything else in his career.Wanted something new.

I don't. The dryers were up against the wall and had their lights going. It was just bad luck that something broke on JPM's car at that particular moment. No one did anything wrong.

FenderBumper · Feb 28, 2012

Be honest Tommy, you want it over.

Just for the complete strangeness of it. Tracks coming apart have been seen before.....but not this.

Had to be done.

Racer1930 · Feb 28, 2012

Now we'll see

FenderBumper · Feb 28, 2012

That track isn't race safe. It's over.

NeverNeutral · Feb 28, 2012

And now the dryer is digging into the track

Ya, I thought that was bad but this is just amazing lol

Racer1930 · Feb 28, 2012

Doesn't look too bad if they don't make it worse

Yeah, that was surreal.

mike honcho · Feb 28, 2012

I would think if you have a BAD vibration in every gear there is no sense in going very fast anyhow.
