Yesterday was actually the first race I watched since the Daytona 500 (I am a Dale Jr. fan by the way).Anyways,of course I pick the day to watch when a wickedcrazy crash happend! Carl Edward's car going air borne like that and hitting the fence,I seriously thought his car was going to flip that fence.He was not hurt (actually got out of his car and ran across the finish line) but I guess 8 people went to the hospital from minor injuries from flying metal...anyone else see that crash?

I was shocked that the fence held so good. It held the entire weight of the car at such high speed!During the replays I noticed the flying metal and wondered if anyone got hurt. I couldn't imagine sitting there seeing a car in my face. Like Jr. said if you stick out the boring middle part you will get a show at the end.

Let's hope they're finally willing to admit restrictor plates don't prevent nasty accidents and in many cases additional HP will actually help prevent them.
Speed can be kept in check with tire/aero rules but let's bring back Horse Power!
I seen Jr. pass Edwards right as he was flying up,I could only imagine what the view was from inside Jr.'s car.
Jr had a camera in his car and they did show the replay of the crash from Jr's view. Go onto Fox sports website. I just watched it again. It's played right after they show Edwards on board camera.

I think it was Ryan Newman who got the real view. I wish he had the in-car camera!
