    Wonder what the drivers think about speed vs restricter plates. All I know is when they're that tight bad things happen.

    We've seen this for years. We all know the "big wreck" will happen..and now it may have cost a life..

      That is how the Gibbs trash opperates so i wouldn't put it past him.
      Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

        I have nothing to add except that I hope and pray that Ryan is ok. That was an awful crash.

          Must be a liberal. That is a lot of unnecessary drama.

            I agree. Seen worse wrecks where they walked away and lesser ones that ended very bad. I think the seriousness of Ryans accident was when I believe LaJoie drove into the drivers side when he was upside down. I cringed when I saw it on replay.

              Yep, the impact to the roof right over Ryan's head was as hard as I've ever seen.

                If you honestly believe that, then you are dumber than a rock. Joe Gibbs is total class.

                  Hoping and praying for Ryan Newman. He just announced last Thursday he and his wife were splitting up after 16 years of marriage. Dang this is awful.

                    Todd Bodine survived that wreck in the truck race at Daytona in 2000 before safety equipment started to get more real

                      Agreed. I had the same thoughts when I saw that.

                        Since day 1 I have not liked yellow line rule and thought that created the wreck finishes that would hurt someone eventually. NBC post race show cancelled... not good folks

                          raceready, the cars don't need more speed. That is the problem, they need less speed.

                            If you are sitting at home or a casual fan at the track there is no way you can tell the difference between 185 mph or 200 mph. No way. But the reduction of speed could save lives.

                              They need more speed which makes them harder to drive and will separate the field a bit
