  We're looking at least 30mins-1 hour to get it cleaned and dried to see IF it's able to be raced on. Just crazy.

  SAFER Barrier may have the foam behind the steel melted, if the fucking steel itself didn't melt.

  Damn Hamlin back in 18th we got to get back racing.
• Tiger2003

  

  Well atleast I got the day off tomorrow if we go back racing.
• Tiger2003

  

  Looks good to race.

  Driver of the jet dryer headed to the hospital... on the replay they just showed going to break, he was limping pretty bad.

  Kenseth was doing great and then this happens. I'll wait it out, and I really hope they don't end the race now. The only consolation would be that Blaney would win.

  They need to call it I'm not sure I want to see someone die tonight.

  I don't know how smooth the track was before, but it looks pretty beat up after they removed the dryer. I don't know if those cracks and what not are enough to cancel the the race for conditions.
• ts1227

  

  The wreckage of the dryer may have rutted the track in a couple spots as they pulled it off.

  Holy shit. Why were the drivers and dryers out on the track at the same time? Thats the craziest thing I've seen in awhile

  Holy balls
• j_crazy

  

  Blaney needs the car to go to phoenix. Only guy who doesn't want to win. Lulz. I'm sure if he wins they will come up with the parts for another car right.

  They always are during a caution where someone blows an engine and drops oil, just usually drivers don't drop their transmission and steering right beside it.

  Ah gotcha it was a caution. Thought there was some rain or something. Insanity.

  Yeah. JPM was going a little faster under caution to catch the pack since he had pitted to address said vibration (customary and legal). This was just a complete fluke.
• bigkahuna

  One of the announcers said something to the affect of "Uh oh, the fun police are out to tell the drivers to get back to their cars." Must be mods from *************

  Holy shit.
  
  I've just been reading everything on here. And then that video. Wow.

  ...still time to get the v-bookie board up
• chicago510

  

  Thats insane that no one was seriously hurt. Both drivers could have been in big trouble with all that fuel.
