Missed the Daytona 500? Here is the only things that happened - General

Massive crash Lap 2, took out Danica Patrick for 38 laps or so [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQb6CJmSyfI[/media] Number 45 crashes into a jet dryer with 200 gallons of jet fuel in Caution [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC1L4n_4f0E[/media] 13 laps near the end and a large crash, took out a few people [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_uZ0EBXTk&feature=channel[/media]

The announcers are so southern it isn't even funny.

I went to bed at 12am and this race was still going on.

Shouldn't the title be "Here are the only things that happened"? And wasn't it that Danicka Patrick has crashed 3 times in the past week? And why the hell did this race make me miss House last night D:

One of my friends said they were going to watch the whole thing, this was like the super bowl to him. (I live in Massachusetts, NASCAR isn't popular at all around here) At school before the race even happened another friend and I were joking about how NASCAR was only driving around in circles, and that the only interesting is when they crash. Shit, I didn't know it'd actually happen that day.

At about $100 a ticket there would be $25,000 coming out of a race track every 30 seconds. If there was enough people to keep up 250 out of the track every 30 seconds, there would be $3,000,000 leaving the track in 1 hour.

It's 200 liters not 200 gallons, about five times less.

I normally don't watch NASCAR mainly because "LEFT TURN ALL THE WAY" but the crashes to make it somewhat interesting.

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;34913304]The announcers are so southern it isn't even funny.[/QUOTE] I heard only a hint of southern at one point but other than that it's pretty neutral

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;34913304]The announcers are so southern it isn't even funny.[/QUOTE] They hardly sound any different than anyone else, don't know where you're picking the southern out.

Yeehaw!

I think I saw one of them turn right! How crazy

Second video is mental.

It would be if there was a small chance of your elbow exploding.

Putting out a gas fire on an incline......
