Default Wreck of the Year
This article has a link to a video of the #00 qualifying crash. I shivered when I saw it live on tv, I said to myself "that poor kid is dead".

A real tribute to the new car and the soft walls that this kid walked away under his own power.

Crazy wreck

Lots of discussion IF this kid even belongs on the race track yet.

Watching the Dale Sr crash it still blows my mind that he was killed in it...

That reminds me so much of Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s final moments in a race car.

It's a shame these improvements didn't come sooner, it took the death of a big star to really set them in motion I suppose.

Jeff Buron's really unhappy with him.

Tony Stewart said that if he said the same thing's Burton's been saying the whole nascar community would be on him.

I agree it is too bad.,..

I wasnt a big Dale fan but had respect because he was one of the best...

My buddy was down there when it happened...Hours after the race when they announced it he said it was damn near a riot amongst fans...

Yeah, this wreck was nasty as fuck.

It still amazes me how guys can walk away from these types of things. When I saw it live, I figured he was dead.

Why is Burton pissed at him? I don't get it.

00 was a lap down and Burton was having a hard time getting past him.

I see

I can understand that, but it isn't a rule that a lapped car has to yield. If it was me, I'd be fighting hard the whole race also...lapped or not.

I've thought Jeff Burton was a whiny little bitch for years. Probably 10 years since he whined about DJ wrecking him at a road course and the replay showed it was Burton's fault.

It's all in the presentation. Tony is the biggest hypocrite in all of NASCAR. Jeff Burton may be a bit of a whiny bitch, but his way of being a bitch is a little less abraisive than Tony. Tony doesn't give a rip how he says what he says, he just says it. I think Burton puts a little more thought in being just a bit more eloquent than Stewart.

In regards to the crash, I saw the replay as I was tending bar with that channel on, but making a couple drinks at the time. The replay showed a huge dent in the wall. I was completely dumfounded at that. That is one lucky kid.

Also on the being a lapped car and fighting for your position despite the leaders being there. I think there's a time and a place for it. If it's the end of the race, just let the leaders go. They'll return the favor in the future. If it's near the beginning or middle, yeah, you want to fight. You still have a chance of winning.
