I think even cars sitting in the parking lot were involved in that one!

I think your right. Pro Bowler I think we went to the Bowling Alley or Million Dollar Junkyard. And the cars were bowling pins I remember a certain youtuber made NASCAR Memes and one was related to Wii Sports when he said nice throw.

Good night, what a wreck!!! Go back to 0:16, and you can see the #14 tap the back of the #21, who in turn tapped the #22, then the #6 and then finally the #2, which took them all out right down the center lane. So if you want to blame someone, blame Briscoe.

[@jayryia]

No blame here. They can't see ahead of them to pre react to a situation. Nothing done was different to what was done the entire race. The line was moving fast and Cindric was too far out. brad checked, Logano couldn't see that in time even if the spotter warned him and he checked up ad Brad came on him. Accordion, Cindric gets hit, Big one ensues.

NASCAR, like every single other racing series, is constantly changing. Some years it is the super speedway racing that sucks, sometimes it is the road courses, mile and a half's, or short tracks. Whenever they attempt to tweak things to improve short track racing, it creates a problem on other tracks, and on and on. The fact is, they continue to change the cars to improve the safety, and various other reasons so it is a constant struggle.

Here’s a novel idea…how about NASCAR dumping the 5.8L V8 with @650 hp and go to a V6 or inline 6, with a HP cap of about 450…no need to restrict speeds, and the cars could still reach 190-200mph. I mean, there’s turbo 4 cylinders that can just about do that. Why keep running antique V8’s if they’re too fast to let them run.
