This race has been anything but boring!
Ryan Newman on his roof, looking bad.

Not really a vicious crash, it just looked scary that the car had been flattened when it laid on the grass. Ryan is a kinda big fella', so that is why it takes so long to get him out. He said over the radio that he was okay.
@ PT: Some cars checked up in front of Ryan Newman, he got hit from behind, spun and the roof flaps weren't deployed so he flipped over and skidded around on the track and ended up on the grass, still upside down. He landed on Kevin Harvick's bonnet.
EDIT: He is out of the car and walking to the ambulance!

I think I've finally sussed out NASCAR. You drive around at some insane speed for two and a half or three hours, sweaty as fukk with other cars all around you. Then there's an almighty bang or two and your neck hurts and ten minutes later you're told where you finished in the results!
C'est brutal mais ca marche!

The thing I dont get about NASCAR is why they make it 200 to 500 lap races. Just do 50 laps. Make it easier for me!
