    I thought it a bit odd. Right after they talked about the incident and interviewed david Reagan they cut to a mobil one tony stewart commercial.

    Espn has no fucking clue what to do, ridiculous. Some of their social media accounts are unbelievable pertaining to this race, like nascar shouldn't run the race today, as if what happened was a nascar sanctioned event....

    All good. I'm not blaming anyone, just sharing the video. It's tragic how you see someone in a moment of adrenaline and desperate help alive then the next second everything is gone.

    I know, I wish more energy were put to setting up a fund for the Ward family instead of pointing fingers.

    Agreed. I think it was awesome in the aftermath of AJ winning. The way he was screaming and celebrating, you would think he just won the championship! I LOVE to see that kind of excitement with a driver. Congrats on the first cup win AJ!

    And yes, Ambrose is a class act racer. He wasn't angry or upset. He was laughing and smiling while congratulating AJ on a win. That was a nice finish!

    I agree that Danica should have done a better job listening. But we don't know what she saw. Perhaps she saw something we didn't. Either way, she should listen to her spotter. It was a move that was not the best. I will concede there. She was doing pretty good overall of course. Had a high of 10th, and was running 14th even AFTER the wreck and the damage. Gotta give her props for that.

    I think she could do a lot better if she had a stronger team. She doesn't get along with her crew chief very well, and that is a very important relationship.

    Well she wasn't the only one zooming by that wreck, at least 2-3 others...

    Watch the video and you will see that every car behind Danica passed newman at the same speed as her. If she slowed down, she would hve been run over.

    Can't account for their spotters as I was only listening to Danica and she did not slow down when the spotter alerted her, cars behind her were damaged as the 3rd car slowed way down and got rear ended. I see what you're saying, from a total spectator view it makes sense.

    Like everyone says, we are all great Monday morning quarterbacks. I guess if I saw cars on my ass and my spotter was saying slow down, I would have said forget you as well! Haha.

    No more blaming the pits for adjusting the wrong way, it's all on you now. Such a simple adjustment I'm surprised that it's not already driver controlled.
