    That was something. I was at Talladega back in the 80's when a car tried its hardest to go through the fence. It delayed the race for 5 hours.

    Hope the injuries aren't serious.

    Daytona News Journal has unconfirmed reports of at least one fatality according to WDBO (news talk radio).

    I saw the posted picture of the tire in the stands. I was at Indy back in the 80's when a tire jumped over the fence and went up into the stands. I didn't witness this, but the tire took some ones head off.

    28 injured, 2 critically. No dead. 1 of the most seriously injured was a child. Both of the critically injured have been upgraded to Stable. I hope all of the injured make a swift recovery. Hopefully tomorrows race will end better.

    What's the allure of watching cars make left turns all day? Don't crashes break the tedium? Without the occasional disaster, it'd be as boring as hockey w/o fights.
