Its a winner of the Monaco Grand Prix from Formula 1 that caused it btw.

He's been finding out driving a NASCAR on an oval is much harder than racing in Formula 1.

I bet they'll enjoy the 200mph speed bump in their $10 million track.

Looks like a deep ass hole left in the track. Unless that is an optical illusion there won't be anymore 500 tonight.

Dont see them opening the track back up. Pretty big gouge from the trailer.

Think they need a new plan for putting out a jet fuel fire.

Wusses!

Any other series they'd be racing through the flames...

Red flag social time with the drivers is amusing though. Who knew they carry the ball caps with them in the cars? Afraid of helmet hair?

Looking at it more carefully maybe there isn't a hole in the track and it was optical.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to hang on when the rear end locks up and comes around due to mechanical failure.
Hard had nothing to do with that, either the tranny or differential locked up and there was nothing anyone could do in that sich.

Driving crashcar is not harder than F1 in any way shape or form.
Crashcar relies a whole bunch more on luck, maybe that's what you meant?

Some bad shifting can also cause it to lock up from abuse...Montoya has done a lot of chrashing....

Luck has very little to do with it. The restrictor plate tracks may be difficult to predict, but luck doesn't really come into play.

At least the safety car driver is ok.

How many races has Montoya crashed in? Seems like he crashes out more then he finishes.

God could have proved his/her existence by having Danica Patrick crash into that truck instead of Juan. That would have been true hilarity.
