Default The Wreck

Did anyone see the wreck at the Daytona 400 tonight? I am not talking about the big one, but the Ryan Preece Barrel rolls.

He seemed to be OK,

I think I’d loose my lunch and soil my pants in that one.

The commentators mentioned that NASCAR would be analyzing the car closely to see how the structure held up. It's amazing he was able to get out seemingly unhurt. Hopefully that will be the case and he won't have any lasting injury.

when he sees the video, he will probably throw up.
I sure hope he is OK.
It is amazing how safe those cars are.

Reminds me of my first Daytona 500 in 1993 when Rusty Wallace had a wreck on the backstretch - almost ending up in the lake.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR driver Ryan Preece is “awake, alert and mobile” after his car rolled about a dozen times during a terrifying crash at Daytona International Speedway. Stewart-Haas Racing said Sunday morning that Preece “has been communicating with family and friends.”
