The Official NASCAR Talk Thread

Honestly you could tell it by the atmosphere in winners circle

Daytona TV station

Man that’s awesome news thanks for posting

How long did it take for them to announce Dale's death

It seems like it was about an hour and a half

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Felt like it was less than two hours.

So then we should hear something soon

Eventhough I posted the WESH TV tweet, I still want to await official confirmation from NASCAR and Halifax before I settle. But man if he’s alive, it’s a miracle.

That would be assuming he’s passed away which doesn’t seem to be the case. Otherwise he could be anywhere from serious to critical.

Non life threatening injuries is an incredible statement given the visuals.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Praise the ****ing lord he is alive

 

[gordonr24]

Oh my god he made it!!

 

[mrmax86]

I can't believe it. I saw the video and thought he was gone. Thank God.

Been watching NASCAR since I was a small child and I don’t remember ever seeing a wreck that bad on the driver’s side. Praying for Newman and his loved ones, because that was awful.

I guess you aren't old enough to remember Reb Wickersham t-boning an essentially stopped car of Buren Skeen in the driver's door at Darlington in 1965, and killing Skeen.

 

[volintears]

If so it is a freakin miracle

I pray that this is true

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Thank you Lord!!!!!

 

[VOLSONLY]

Oh my god he made it!!

Thank you Jesus

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Well, Nascar just said it, so I think it is

It’s an annual gripe for me, but never understood why this race is so important. Any time you have a term like “the big one” should be cause for change.

 

[volintears]

Jell yeah!!!!

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Wonder what serious condition but non life threatening means. Serious sounds life threatening

 

[ATC_VOL]

Great news

Serious question do you also feel the same way about the Indy 500?
I ask because they are both as American as Hot dogs and apple pie. Nascar drivers are and have been for many years probably the most down to Earth next door neighbor type people and there's a large segment of the country who appreciates that.
