Nascar 2013

[Dave..]

Thank goodness for the catch fence. Scary crash.

 

[Storm]

Jeepers!

Quite possibly one of the most spectacular crashes I've ever seen, amazing that no-one was seriously hurt.

Thanks for sharing @Pumesta, need to get back into the habit of watching nascar again

Unreal strength in the fences now!

I hate the way they always say here is the big one, as if they are waiting or want a big crash to happen!!

Must start watching again, been over a year since i watched it.

It was unbelievably lucky.

It was 3am and that section of the stands had restricted access because of the renovations going on.

In all honesty, it's only a matter of time before the restrictor plate tracks (Daytona and talledega) are changed. These massive bunched accidents are all too common on tracks where the cars are flat for the whole race and drafting is key.

In all honesty, it's only a matter of time before the restrictor plate tracks (Daytona and talledega) are banned. These accidents are all too common on tracks where aero is key.

That video really shows how fast they are travelling, it's all over in a fraction of a second

That was scary, did everyone got out ok? Says a lot about the safety cells of modern race cars, not many years ago that would have been human carnage too...

as if they are waiting or want a big crash to happen!!

They are. This is Nascar. That was a big one, but they crash all the time. Everyone goes for a nice tailgate barbecue and beer, and to watch the crashes on the big screens. These races go on for hours and hours and hours, and you have no clue who will win until the last corner. So it was never about the racing.

Wow look who's following me on twitter.

I seen some of these Nascars at Goodwood and met some of the drivers. I was actually a bit embarrased as i had no idea who they were. I've been an F1 fan for 20 years but would love to watch these guys now after hearing, seeing and meeting the drivers. How do we watch this in the uk? Internet or do any of the channels show it? Thanks, Colin.

I usually just stream it, easiest way and it usually pretty good quality!

 

[Pumesta]

I stream it too. But was tempted to sign up to premier sports. Only there website sucks and it wouldn't let me

 

[Pumesta]

So one race to go who's every ones money on. As a Kyle Busch fan naturally I would want to see him win especially after him having missed the first 11 races due to his nasty smash at Daytona back in February and having been all but written out of the championship

[Pumesta]

Saw this on Kyle Busch's facebook and thought it was kind of cool

The hardware that held me together so I could get the big hardware!

[Pumesta]

So the green flag is about to drop at Daytona anyone watching

Meeeeee!

For now anyway... tough finding a decent stream.

 

[Pumesta]

Watching the streams from America always make me lust after an f150 60 months 0% on them atm too lol

 

[Storm]

That was a tight auld finish!

Good race

 

[Pumesta]

Ever notice how Kyle Busch looks like mr Potato head

 

[Pumesta]

When Nascars go boom

 

[svensktoppen]

Lol, what actually happened?
