The Crash Fest At Daytona Has Officially Begun
The Crash Fest At Daytona Has Officially Begun-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

After more than a stage and a half of racing in the Daytona 500—that’s 105 laps in new-NASCAR talk—a tire went down on Kyle Busch’s car and spun the No. 18 around, collecting bunch of cars and tearing them up. Afterward, Busch blamed and served a major burn to NASCAR’s “official” tire. That’ll be a nice fine.

Busch whipped right around upon the tire giving out on lap 45 of the , collecting his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth, rookies Erik Jones and Ty Dillon, Elliott Sadler and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a big wreck. Sadler somehow managed to come out of the thing in the lead, and the red flag came out for cleanup.

But the fun stuff came after the wreck.

Busch said in a post-wreck interview with FOX that he would have waved other cars around had he known that the tire would go down right there, but he wasn’t even sure which tire gave out on him. Then, Busch served a really hot burn to Goodyear, the “official” tire of NASCAR, live on television:

“Tore up three JGR cars in one hit, and also [Earnhardt] Jr.,” said Busch, who’s out of the race for the day . “I feel bad, horrible, for those guys, but man, nothing that we did wrong. Obviously, Goodyear tires just aren’t very good at holding air.”

Take that one all the way to the bank, dude, because it was a good burn. And they’ll probably be fining you for it.

Earnhardt’s team didn’t repair the car to meet minimum speed in the . NASCAR’s favorite driver for about a million years running is done for the day.

reports that Goodyear spokespeople later said Busch’s tires were intact. Plot twist!

I'm Willing To Believe Mustaches Add Horsepower After Watching This Hot Rod Race
“The Race of Gentlemen” is like cosplay for reliving the early days of motor racing– primitive engines powering tin can cars and clattery motorcycles, on the beach, driven full-noise by greasy mustached caricatures having the time of their lives. You’ve , you remember , now The Hoonigans have crammed everything...

Mowing The Grass Is A Bad Thing In NASCAR
When you live in a residential area, you should mow your grass. If you don’t, the president of the homeowner’s association will probably break down your door. But in NASCAR, you let that grass grow. Don’t mow it. It will not end well. Yet again, the . This time, it...

If All Else Fails, Just Land On Your Competition
Rallycross is chaos in race form. No body panel is sacred—including the ones on the top of the car. This year’s Red Bull Global Rallycross finale at the Port of Los Angeles featured a car straight-up landing on top of another car while locked in intense battle. Joni Wiman’s Honda...

Here's The Greatest Racing Pass This Year
Well, this is certainly the most audacious, bodacious, extraordinary in top-tier motorsports so far this year. It’s also a good reminder that rallycross is incredible. Kevin Eriksson (that’s him in the little red and white Fiesta) found himself on the outside of the pack going into the first corner of...
