Looks like I'm right back where I was last year … another 30th or worse finish. Is there a special prize for picking 30th or worse finishes? I would have easily led the field last season!

I should have gone with my original plan and picked some average driver that I would not have cared about if they got taken out in a big one. Now, I have wasted a good driver and got nothing out of it. :-x Oh well, next week will be a better week.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

I know even in times of a serious crash, everything continues but the victory celebration was definitely subdued last night and it looked to me like Ryan Blaney had no interest in doing a post race interview. He was obviously very concerned about Ryan Newman.

Well, this is probably the only week everyone wishes my pick would have won rather than crash. Hope someone else will get to pick him this season, but that doesn't seem too likely after watching that. It's already a miracle that his injuries are "non-life threatening", praying for a full recovery.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR driver Ryan Newman is awake and speaking with family and doctors a day after his horrific crash on the final lap of the Daytona 500.

Roush Fenway Racing released an update on its driver Tuesday, about 20 hours after Newman's car slammed into the wall at nearly 200 mph, flipped, got T-boned by another car, flipped several more times and skidded to a halt in flames.

For anyone who missed it online, apparently he walked out of the hospital today. Like, discharged. Less than 48 hours after I, for one, was looking at the way they were covering the story and figuring he was a goner.

Crazy how safe a car could be if you had the will to make it safe.

When I saw the accident, I was sure he must have suffered life changing injuries or even died. I was stunned (and thankful) when I saw him walk out of the hospital today. Absolutely amazing.

Ryan was instrumental in making the cars safer and was adamant about the HANS device over the Simpson Restraint. 20 years ago this would have been life threatening. I'm sure he's happy with the decisions he made.

Geoff Bodine - Missed 10 races - 20 years ago.



WIKI

While participating the inaugural Daytona 250 Truck Series race at Daytona International Speedway, on February 18, 2000, Bodine was involved in a vicious, fiery accident on the 57th lap of the race while driving the No. 15 Line-X-sponsored Ford F-150 for Billy Ballew.

The crash started when rookie Kurt Busch, Rob Morgan and Lyndon Amick were racing three-wide through the tri-oval front straightaway. In the exact moment Bodine moved to get around the outside of the trio, Morgan was turned across Busch's nose into the side of Amick's truck, who was at the bottom. Amick's truck was damaged in the contact, which caused it to veer hard right, pushing Morgan into Bodine who was on the outside. The contact between Morgan's front right tire and Bodine's front left tire caused the front of Bodine's truck to vault upwards over the outside retaining wall, sending his truck into the catch fencing nose first, at a speed of nearly 190 mph (310 km/h).[4]

The force of the impact completely tore the front of the truck into pieces and ruptured the fuel cell, leaving only small parts of the roll cage intact. Just as Bodine was coming back down to the track, it was hit driver's side by Lonnie Rush, Jr., which caused it to roll down the frontstretch. As it tumbled, it got hit yet again, this time by Jimmy Kitchens, which ignited the fuel that was spilling out of the tank. Bodine rolled nine times before coming to rest on his roof. The accident was so severe, the announcers, crew members and fans all believed that Bodine had died. Thirteen other trucks were involved, making it one of the largest wrecks in NASCAR Truck Series history. As a result of the collision, Bodine suffered fractures in his right wrist, right cheekbone, a vertebra in his back, and his right ankle as well as suffered a concussion. Kitchens was also hospitalized after his contact with Bodine, however, he suffered no serious injuries. Nine spectators were also injured in the crash.

Incredibly, Bodine missed only ten races of the 2000 Winston Cup season while recovering from his injuries, returning at Richmond International Raceway on May 6 and finishing 13th in a 400-lap race. However, Bodine's struggles over the ensuing months led to his dismissal from the team in September. In a feat of great accomplishment, he returned in the 2002 Daytona 500 to finish third behind race winner Ward Burton and second-placer finisher Elliott Sadler. However, including that race, Bodine only managed to make 18 starts in the NASCAR Cup Series between 2001 and 2004, with only one Top 5 and two Top 10s both in 2002. He attempted to qualify for the 2004 Brickyard 400 driving for Gary Trout Autosports, but was unable to and made no more attempts at any other races that year.
