If the latest news reports are accurate (and I'm always a deep skeptic about news accuracy), then it sounds less serious than that. Trust me, WCG, if you haven't seen a clip. For several seconds — always hard to judge precisely how long when you feel like you've stopped breathing — Junior was just sitting motionless while flames roared around him inside the driver's side of the car. During those moments, NO ONE WAS THERE TO HELP HIM. I don't know what got him moving, but thank heaven he did. So if he's alert and talking in the hospital, and if the DEI guy who spoke for him said Junior's going to be OK, then let's all thank the good Lord. It could have been far, far worse.
it was scary, it was reminding me of Niki Lauda for a moment.
