Watching A Hard NASCAR Crash On A Helmet Cam Is The Most Intense Thing
Watching A Hard NASCAR Crash On A Helmet Cam Is The Most Intense Thing-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:21

NASCAR’s top Cup Series was at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400 today, where Kurt Busch’s race came to a halt with a hard hit with only 10 laps let in the race. Holy crap, the view from Busch’s helmet is intense.

The outside view of the crash wasn’t much better, with smoke from the crash obscuring the track.

The crash occurred after Clint Bowyer got loose. Erik Jones crashed into Bowyer’s out of control car as a result, and Kurt Busch collected Bowyer’s spinning car. Jamie McMurray was also caught up in the big wreck.

Busch’s in-car helmet cam was still insanely intense even as he was climbing out of the car:

Thank goodness for in-car radios. Hearing that you’re not on fire and that it’s safe to climb out of your car when you can’t see much of anything due to a crumpled-up hood and a wall out your window must be the relief of the century. An earlier hard hit tonight between Kurt’s brother Kyle and Martin Truex Jr. left Truex with a , so it does happen.

The Brickyard 400 had to be red-flagged to clean up all of the debris left on track, leaving us with a restart with only 10 laps to go in the race.

: Surprise, suprise: as yellows beget yellows, Kyle Larson’s car ended up on fire after the restart with six laps to go. Commentators wondered aloud if the speedy-dry on the track from prior wrecks may have caused Larson to get loose.

: The race is now going into overtime after Jimmie Johnson spun out while battling with Kasey Kahne and Brad Keselowski for the lead:

: .

The Brickyard 400 started five hours, 44 minutes ago. It’s still going on—an hour ago, there were…

: It took slightly longer for the cars to crash in the second overtime restart, but NASCAR finally declared Kasey Kahne the winner, regardless.

Formula One Will Give Us The Louder Engines We Demanded
The Americans are in control of Formula One now, and so the powers-that-be heard y’all think F1 engines are . The fact (yes, fact) that internal combustion racing engines should be God’s gift to eardrums might as well be in the fine print of our own Bill of Rights, and...

Here's A Hell Of A Reason Not To Be Racing In Formula One
Pascal Wehrlein is not the biggest name in Formula One—he’s just one of the drivers for mid-pack Sauber. Well, not all-the-time driver. He won’t be at the next race because he’s injured, injured in another event. And injured in a surprisingly unusual and crazy fashion, I might add. Wehrlein back...

The Tale Of Longhorn Speedway, The Forgotten Ghost Track In The Shadow Of Circuit Of The Americas
Other than a weekend flea market that draws a decent crowd, things are pretty quiet at the corner of U.S. 183 and FM 812 in southeast Austin. There’s a VFW post, a small Circle K gas station and scattered Mexican restaurants. Not much directly lines the highway, either, except for...

Here’s Some More Exhausting Bullshit About Women In Racing
I’ll be honest, it took me a few days after this video on the Monster Energy girls published to actually write this. My hands were shaking too much out of anger to do anything for a while. But there’s something we need to talk about—!—and it’s glorifying the objectification of...
