That was horrible to watch.

Prayers for Newman

Ryan and Roush are my guys. I’m really concerned. That was an awkward hit to the drivers side door top and roof roll bar.

Thats the part that scares me the most, full speed on the drivers side door while he is upside down

 

[Dudleys87]

They said Gordon was not consolable.

Hopefully he’s ok.

You thinking it was instantaneous?

You thinking it was instantaneous?

Yes, when the other car hit him

Me too brother. I drove super late model when I was younger. It’s such a terrible angle. I really pray he is ok.

Did that show anything helpful? Seems to be deleted

There is nothing on top of the seat keeping the head from being pulled straight up. Very very unusual hit. I’ve never seen that portion hit while being upside down full throttle.

That hit he took on driver side by Lajoie and seeing the roof dent in like that not good. Hey have roll bars in that area but he got hit in the spot with no reinforcement or roll bar failed

Hauns Device not prevent this?

Not the hit he took on top of driver side and seeing the roof dent in. Only thing to prevent that is extra roll bar or 2

Imo not well at the angle

kind of feel like nascar would've said something by now if he had made it

 

[SCRocket]

Imagine your body being held very tight to a seat. Your back and bottom won’t move. Your core won’t move. Now imagine being upside down. Being hit hard upside down would feel like your head is going to be pulled off.

A lot of truth right here

And it’s forced down. Not good

HANS device just keeps the head from snapping forward and using the chin as a fulcrum to snap the spinal column. It does nothing for a direct hit.

I was fixing to say it’s been an hour, don’t know if that’s good or bad. Should be hearing something

 

[Dudleys87]

engine builder asks for privacy and avoid speculation

Not good at all.

I knew absolutely nothing about it hoping it would help is all
