Can someone give me a recap? JPM hit a safety truck and drivers are standing on the track tweeting and doing interviews? WTF

Lots of jet fuel and fire in there too.

I will give these drivers credit. I would not want to get back on the track after that. Going over that patch at those speeds?

Damn, just saw that replay. Montoya and the jet driver are lucky to be alive.
Surprised NASCAR lets those guys go by safety trucks so fast under caution.

They went over a frisbee-sized pothole at 200mph two years ago. Don't think they GAF.
It's just a strip of quick-crete. It won't be any different than what the track was for 50 years.

They're supposed to slow down. But for NASCAR, slowing down still means 100.

I hope they do care. That wreck in Vegas would of never of happened if a degree of common sense was displayed. I dont get excited by people dying.

Seems weird that FOX is using that crash in a promo spot. Weird because it wasn't racing, just a really bizarre incident.

Yes, they are. They are now deathly afraid of using jet dryers.

Why do they think it is a good idea to have 200 gallons of jet fuel in the back of a truck with race cars driving by it? I understand those trucks are only out there when the race is under caution but jebus, seems like a bomb waiting to go off to me.

These last 40 laps are going to be wild. I'm gonna go ahead and say we haven't seen the last red flag of the race.

Could they dry this thing a lot faster if they had the cars driving around while the jet drier is out there working?

Probably because they could potentially have a ton of track to dry off over the course of a few straight hours. And considering this has never happened before...

This is pretty fucking stupid. Those drivers should be out there checking the track out for themselves.
