In the discussion thread: Huge car crash mars Nationwide Series race at Daytona [View all]

Sat Feb 23, 2013, 05:35 PM

8. Bad crashes happen every time they go to Daytona or Talledega

I hope all the fans are OK, that was a devastating crash. Unfortunately, these crashes will keep happening in NASCAR as long as the sport refuses to punish drivers who pull these stunts. It's hard to tell from the angle of the video I watched, but it appears that the guy who started all this is the defending Sprint Cup CHAMPION. And you better bet the only punishment he'll get out of this is a couple of bruises.
