Also, I think it was, admittedly, fortunate that it happened yesterday instead of Sunday. Sunday you still have all the security theater bullshit going on, yesterday it's gone.

that crash is instructive because Horton was fine but Stanley Smith, who "just" took a head-on hit into T1 was nearly killed- the first safety worker on the scene clearly saw some bad poo poo because he's borderline panicking looking into the car.

Guy had a basilar skull fracture, when they pull him out of the car on the live feed you can see his white fire suit is red

I remember the guy who crashed with JD McDuffie said the scene inside the car was so bad he had to close his eyes.

Yeah, once in a while you get some poor track marshall getting confronted out of the blue with a nightmare they absolutely didn�t sign up for (imagine being first on the scene to the aftermath of the Pryce/Van Vuuren collision, Jesus Christ).

The entry list for Vegas is out and the 6 has no driver listed. Roush has no NXS team to pull from, so who gets the seat? You'd have to think it'd be a Ford guy like Briscoe or Cindric, right?

Ragan shut that down on Twitter today, it seems.

I'm guessing Briscoe, but I'd like to see someone like Cassill get a shot.

Well, David Ragan was only signed up for Daytona, finished 4th, and I don't think there was any bad blood with Roush... I could see that working out if it's like 4-6 weeks.

Considerations for replacing Newman will probably have to be short-term (could he just have a concussion or does he have fractured vertebrae?) and long-term (can he be long for this business at 42 years old?)
