3 car has no front clip left, no rear clip left

Was on inside 3 wide, Hamlin gets turned starting the big one, Dillon went over all 3 rows into fence shearing off 3 fence poles!!!

Austin Dillon still in Care Center getting checked out.

He will be one SORE Puppy for a while, bruised internal organs.

He looked dazed, and a bit shocky. Little surprise given that intense crash. As they say, it isn’t’t the crash that kills you,it’s the sudden stop at the end.

I’m way too tired to figure the energy coefficient of a two-ton car hitting the crash fence at 200mph, but it has got to be incredible. And he walked away. Just wow....

As soon as Dan Wheldon hit the fence I paused the TV, called my wife into the room and told her I just watched a man die... I didn’t need the replays to know.

I honestly had the same thought tonight. I’m astounded and thankful I was wrong this time.

And that second hit...
WTF was Brad doing? From what I could tell he was half a lap back and didn’t slow down until the last minute.

From the RCR Twitter page, Austin is out of the care center.

Great news!

Yes He did.

Should have been a bug splat. God was watching over him for sure.

Formula: 7.48 * 3500/(3 poles-mounting to wall)=ONE LUCKY BOY THAT WILL BE HURTING ALL WEEK LONG

This was dangerous and foolish on the part of NASCAR and NBC. One more stupid decision of theirs in a whole week of stupid decisions.
