Wow! Montoya had a wreck! Jet dry truck up in flames ... Will they get the track in repair to finish?

There goes the fresh asphalt. Bet there is a melted area.

Now I've seen everything :facepalm: If you weren't a Murphy believer you should be now.

In 30+ years of watching races, I have NEVER seen anything like that, glad it seems as if no one was seriously injured!

I am pretty sure the tweeting on your Iphone while driving nascar should be more out of the ordinary than the wreck!

That was nuts! Montoya was lucky to walk away from that one. Looked like he went in drivers side first. Crazy stuff. I wouldn't doubt if the track is damaged and the race is over..... Will be the talk on NASCAR radio all week....

Back for a minute. Brother texted me from Daytona. He says track surface is really roughed up at the scene and doubts any more racing.

Track looks pretty gnarly right where that guy is sweeping.

Does Tide sponsor a car? They're getting major exposure.

I think the whole Murphy clan was at the race this year.

Called on account of rain - normal
Called/delayed on account of snow - it happened once in New Hampshire a while back.
Called/delayed on account of fire - At Daytona a few years back when smoke from brush fires in the swamp caused visibility probs
Called because they're burnin' up the track - well that's a first. Still too early to tell. And where's the rain?

What a night!

They're firing up .......er starting the cars to finish the race. Yippee.

Yup, I am running out of adult beverages. Very glad they are getting the show back on the road.
I am getting the surround sound back on as well! I love those "Crank It up" parts.

Guess this is a chance to find out if the new "special sauce" holds up to cars at speed.
