I almost never watch the Nationwide series, but I was flipping channels and watched the last 8 laps or so live.

Part of the problem was that they had a wreck with 4 laps left, setting up a green-white-checker finish. That bunched up about 20 cars for the last 2 laps. Coming into the final turn, Brad Keselowski was right behind Regan Smith, and when he tried to pull out to get around him, Smith made a blocking move, and when Keselowski's car hit the corner of Smith's, they both wrecked and everybody behind them was way too tight to have much reaction time.

One tire from the #32 car went high over the fence - I didn't see it until ESPN showed some replays at least an hour after the race. I think they were waiting to show some replays of the #32 car hitting the fence because they were afraid they'd show video that could have included a fatality in the grandstand.

Oddly enough, the #32 car crossed the finish line in 13th place without an engine or either front tire. That was a new one on me. The second and third place finishers were also spinning out as they crossed the finish line.

No one has said he is.

It wouldnt be this drawn out if a bunch of cuts and bruises. My guess, and i really hope im totally wrong, is that 3-4 people died. Again i REALLY hope im wrong.

On year a guy crossed the finish line sliding on his roof. It's the plate tracks. its going to keep happening in Nascar. This plate is only making them slow down and fair .this stuff happens at local short tracks everywhere too. Its a part of the sport.

I've seen dozens of cars wreck and cross the finish line in all kinds of directions, flipping, and sliding. I just don't think I've ever seen a car cross the finish line on the last lap without an engine or either front wheel before.

Agree there. Was worst one ive ever seen live thats for sure. and the way everyone got REAL quit and Tony the winner didnt even celebrate shows that NASCAR deserves more respect IMO.

The people that went to twitter blaming some of the driver need there ass kicked. Larson had that done TOO him... Jeez. even dumb shits blame Brad K or B Smith. its racing. one went to pass, one went to block.
