Nationwide Race Thread -Daytona

Seen elsewhere but couldn't be more true.

Here's hoping NASCAR puts preventing the "Violently-Shifting Steering Column" ahead of the "Glass Dashboard" on the development schedule.

I like this quote.

After watching tonight's #NNS race, Cup teams are currently in the process of emotionally detaching themselves from tomorrow's car. #nascar @nascarcasm
 
Nobody "wrecked" Patrick last night. She got caught up in a wreck not of her doing and she wasn't the only one.
 
Here's a few of the other names who were also caught up in wrecks last night. Must be a bunch of haters around here to not mention them ;)

Mike Wallace, Kevin Harvick, Joe Nemechek, Casey Roderick, Elliott Sadler, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, Danny Efland, Johanna Long, Kurt Busch, John Wes Townley, James Buescher, Cole Whitt and others.
 
Danica Patrick’s impact with steering wheel during crash doesn’t concern NASCAR officials.....

Although video of her accident is somewhat startling, NASCAR officials are not surprised and not overly concerned that Danica Patrick’s steering column jerked violently upward in her crash Friday night at Daytona International Speedway.

They had seen the same thing before, including in Eric McClure’s car in April when McClure suffered a concussion and internal bruising in a hard crash at Talladega.

NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said Saturday the steering columns “absolutely” absorbed the impact and moved the way they are designed during Patrick’s crash in Friday night’s Nationwide Series race.
