Ghent Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 😳 I was watching this as it happened and wow. That does not look good. I got the vibe that he may have died as the broadcast went off air  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sounds like he'll be okay, that is scary though. This is so Kansas btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Was happy during college basketball when they said his injuries were non-life threatening.   Maybe he’s in amputation territory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sorry for the weird thread, but I spent like an hour in a state of shock because I was pretty sure I just watched someone die live on TV.  8 hours ago, JarJarBlinks said: Maybe he’s in amputation territory? That or maybe paralyzed or something? The way they are keeping info locked down is odd. Leaving the Daytona 500 broadcast with Jeff Gordon in tears when they knew he was alive? I'm confused.

Nasa Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I read on the way to work this morning that he’s in critical condition. I hope he turns out okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting older in general I've started growing appreciation for it. It definetely requires nerves of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's still a rich kids sport but I'd imagine so as I haven't kept up with it since the 2000s. my favorite driver was Dale Jr as my father loved "the Intimidator". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, NASCAR drivers are badasses. Imagine wrecking normally at 200 MPH..I can't even imagine going 200 MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
