[@CrazyChase12345]

man, that was one of the most violent crashes i've seen at a nascar road course race in a long time. thanks for showing the vid and i'm glad all of the drivers were ok.

[@JReaLBiz86]

The irony of a "Speed is Beautiful" sign directly above an extremely ugly crash. #Priceless

[@stevecox5664]

If you look closely you can see a yellow car, which I think is Paul Menard some how got through with no damage or very little damage.

[@Monkeyball480]

I know Right. He is like the only abc/espn commentator that actually shows emotion.

[@SPEEDSTER7201]

Speed is beautiful. When you don't crash!

[@LASTCARonBROCK]

Listen to how the crowd reacts in the background at 02:20-02:23.

[@Blast-Forward]

Ouch. Holy shit!
I wish we would also get that detailed replays in F1!
The onboard cameras are radio controlled or why can they move?

[@xJohnx228x]

This is the only reason i watch NASCAR now!....

[@DG1Shamrock]

At 2:30 you see the most ironic thing. A sign that says, "Speed is beautiful". Below, cars destroyed, debris, everywhere.

[@WTC1973]

+DG1Shamrock I think that was meant as an advertisement for Sprint, but it is ironic.

[@SamMyersKilliepop]

A wreck involving at least 5 cars is common on road courses, because the cars have enormous speed and are just inches apart due to the narrow stretches. That's why all these cars were involved in this accident.

[@Leuel48Fan]

Speed IS Beautiful :)

[@N1keRM]

Lol you can hear the crowd reacting to the hard hits

[@TheOneManWhoBeatYou]

"America's all about speed, hot, nasty, bad ass speed"- Elenor Roosevelt 1955

[@clark38571]

i think thats the first time ive heard the crowd react to an accident.

[@Nxtl68]

why am i not surprised Michael Mcdowell was involved

[@MrCouchmen]

Nascar should build more tracks like this.Who is with me?

[@X2Lazy2WinX]

1:47 The 12 car is Ryan Newman, Dr. Punch, not Sam Hornish. Get your facts right

[@TheOneManWhoBeatYou]

2:22 watch the official in white behind the wall to the right, nice dive man

[@criticalfireant3126]

man that sign is ironic

[@SamMyersKilliepop]

I went to this race in 2010 and there was a four-car pile up, I think.

[@daniel1982641]

@MrCouchmen - I agree. There should be more road courses instead of going around ovals all the time. I'm not hating on ovals. They're exciting, but if there are more road courses, NASCAR would be much more interesting.

[@Reddaytonadog3]

How in the world can anyone walk away from that?

[@Keselowski88]

ESPN sucks at broadcasting
Nascar needs more races on TNT, they only have 6

[@Jrl24rules39]

On Wind Tunnel I'm sure Dave said he was released from the hospital.

[@tiki2188]

DAMN! What was really crazy was the car at :11 that went into the barrels

[@daleshahid2163]

0:10 speed is beautiful. as Sam Hornish crashes into water barrels

[@MortifiedPenguin275]

Was that a Hutchen's device David took off?

[@iamchazzi]

"Have you ever?!"
"No I've never!!"

[@osubuckeyes14]

surprised hornish's car didn't erupt in flames. his car hit the pit barriers right where the fuel cell was.

[@sesselfurzer2000]

"Speed is beautiful." made my day.. xD

[@Fastjet21]

that crash was scary. someone you could of been seriously injured or worse. I don't know McDowell was thinking. but that was not a smart move at all.

[@ryangriser]

Sam hornish jr is like pewdiepie pewdie hates barrels so Sam destroys the barrels

[@gobackto82]

@DavidOrtiz36 Michael McDowell? Do You Mean The 00?

[@bugalaman]

that was one hell of a crash

[@Freakzone550]

Nascar automobiles being destroyed?
Oh darn.

[@TheBob0312]

Wow Clint Bowyer that was close

[@rick_fortune]

Phuck, that's a big hit. The poor bastard in the #38 car cops 3 huge belts there.

[@redtheangrybird4207]

RickFortune Thats David Gilliland in the 38 car.

[@SpeedwayGuy]

Sam hornish have a hard hit to barrier lucky to get out car

[@MortifiedPenguin275]

Listen to the crowd man on the replays

[@agrabou_tm]

Mcdowell intentionally wrecked Gilliand for contact earlier that lap.

[@blackraptor97]

dude i watched the hole race

[@48fanfromky]

it said Sam Hornish stalled his car bit it was Ryan Newman

[@timlinisabeast]

you can hear andy at 0.09 say "oh god!"
thay took labonte to the hospatal to get checked out but other then that, i think everyone was ok

[@bphaneuf8882]

don't care if you like NASCAR or not... but show me a more wild, exciting 15 seconds..2:35 to 2:50. watching this replay over and over again really shows how bad this could have been.

[@NathanielPuente]

what do they mean robby gordon somehow got threw the wreck happened way ahead of him

[@gobackto82]

@DavidOrtiz36 no sorry it was joe nemechek

[@JackC36]

Only reason I watch it.

[@tubeyou443]

Speed is beautiful.

[@BigKobs]

where it said speed is beautiful how come the crash happen

[@gadgefan48]

"The 43 of Bob Blaney involved" *facepalm*

[@redtheangrybird4207]

Balto Racing LOL MAN!! That commentator who said Bob Blaney was probably too lazy to say Dave Blaney and Bobby Labontie so he decided to combine the names.

[@nascarfan1444]

speed is beautiful but dangerous

[@ToroRosso20]

Ryan Newman stalled..not Hornish. God, Jerry Punch needs to give it up and hand it over to someone else.

[@theamazingstickman]

Speed is beautiful, meanwhile...

[@NascarRacing2003Fan]

LOL!!!, 2:25, Speed is Beautiful

[@BigMattXXL]

He only said Blaney.

[@PTKhimself]

Well, THAT was a mess..

[@BentonvilleSandy1445]

bobby labonate is ok for good sakes, but gone to local hospital for futher vaildation, and others there were involved so gladly ok

[@pyromcr]

i was watching the race when that happened i i went oh my god

[@TheMagicalLemon01]

Sam Hornish doesn't have good times here. 2 years in a row.

[@wpsracing108]

David are you alive? ok good, make sure you've got the sponsors cap on first, then go to the medical center :p

[@Fastjet21]

if it sucks. then don't WATCH IT!!

[@joeynascar]

Marcos Ambrose was running better than JPM...

[@Dfalevitch]

@NASCAR4ever11 talladega nights will ferrel good movie

[@JonPilat111]

watch the official near where bobby labonte slam the inside guard rail dive to avoid his car @2:23

[@Monkeyball480]

Oh yeah. I've only heard commentators say "god" about 2 or 3 times but I guess that is because you aren't supposed to say "god" in vain.

[@Cancer6667]

wth 0:03 it looke like a game ;D

[@timlinisabeast]

well Jarrett isnt that bad, hes better then Rusty

[@gtcochran1]

still laughing at when they crash above it says speed is beautiful!

[@agrabou_tm]

I know you have a man crush on scott speed, but no need to advertise it.

[@benvanhook5069]

[@Goodstegosaurus]
