penguin31: Helton admitting that the track surface and wall are at least slightly compromised but that they're going to try to race again anyway!

Yeah. Gouges...normal?? *MAYBE*. But usually they aren't LATERAL across the track, right? That seems like it might cause an accident.

relaxitsjustme		2012-02-27 10:53:02 PM

Dumb-Ass-Monkey: Seriously, Mike??

They just really don't want Blaney to win.

That's my take too

bulldg4life		2012-02-27 10:53:03 PM

So, they figure a gouge is ok to have on the track?

And, looks like he knows it will be another 30-45 minutes.

I wonder how long it takes to replace that section of barrier.

Jensaarai		2012-02-27 10:53:06 PM

FiendishFellow05: Mike Helton is out of his skull. Seriously. Someone's going to get killed.

"Unless there's a spark that reignites anything."

Cause.. you know. NASCAR vehicles never bottom out. Heheh.

bluorangefyre		2012-02-27 10:53:07 PM

They're saying this should be done in 30 minutes and we'd be back racing. Everybody, start doing a rain dance!

I'm 5000 miles away and I'm watching it on a 27" CRT TV and I can tell there's damage to the track

I'm watching on my iPhone from the ISS, and *I* can tell there's damage to the track.

I'm listening on shortwave and I can tell there's damage to the track.

I'm listening in morse code and I can tell there's damage to the track.

Twitch Boy: Anyone else find it ironic that a Rick Santorum car appears and the track ends up covered in a frothy mix?

If it hadn't already been awarded earlier in the thread, you would have earned +1 Internet for that line, sir!

I'm on the moon, watching the race on a 7" black and white RCA television, and I can even tell there's damage to the track!

/Actually, just heard them say they will return to racing within a half hour

vygramul		2012-02-27 10:53:47 PM

ScreamingLemur46: vygramul: smerfnablin: You literally have metal melted into the track...

Jet fuel can't melt metal. At least, that's what I've been told.

I'm pretty sure I saw a cruise missile hit the dryer before Montoya got to it.

None of Daytona's Jewish workers showed up to work tonight. Coincidence?

WhyteRaven74		2012-02-27 10:53:49 PM

Ah Mike Helton, distant cousin of Todd Helton.

I've seen drainage grooves cut across the track.

Checking the Dead Sea Scrolls, maybe something in there about some track damage...

They already fixed the wall.

Honestly. Enough is enough. We're done. If he restarts this thing, I don't give a fark who wins as long as everyone gets around safely.

Jesus motherfarking christ, Fox. Really?

You're aware they call them JET dryers for a reason right?

If the race starts again, Kes just signed his own death warrant.

redahle: FiendishFellow05: Anyone take a look at that charred safer barrier? Not something I want to hit if it's compromised.

It's steel and the safety crew already replaced the foam behind. The wall is fine.

"AND JET FUEL CAN'T MELT STEEL! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!"

ClavellBCMI		2012-02-27 10:58:00 PM

Crashalotski is driving... with his phone in the car. He has got to be the only major-circuit driver who would even bother with taking his freaking *phone* with him in the car *during* a race.

Pounding Twitter, NASCAR is now. IndyCar already did. Effectiveness? Has yet to be determined.

vygramul		2012-02-27 10:58:58 PM

"There's nothing funny about what happened..."

I beg to differ.

Ohgod don't start that shiat--I've actually had people ask me to do this IRL, and at hardware stores even :P

(Yes, seriously. During a drought I had someone checking me out at a now-defunct hardware store chain ask me to do a rain dance when she realised I have enough First Nations heritage to look a bit NDN--and when I explained my ancestors hadn't been "traditional" for something like 150 years, she told me to "make one up--the trees need it". As if she can't get off her own tofu-eatin' arse and do her own rain dance--I promise it'd be about as effective :D)

/People at the American Printing House for the Blind here can tell there's damage to the track. Via Braille, even

They said earlier in the telecast that some drivers had special compartments built in the cars for them. So no, he isn't.
