Re: 2012 Aaron's 312 - Nascar Nationwide Series
LOL at all of you. When anyone drives like an idiot normally, it's rightly their fault. But when DANICA is involved, facts be damned, it's all on Danica. Her retaliation was out of line, sure. But, it was on Hornish not to drive like a complete tool, which is something he failed at. That "I had a flat tire" excuse is completely lame, also.

Don't know if anyone cared about Richardson, but he is apparently okay but sore. He was not really putting much pressure on either of his legs when he got out. No update on McClure yet.

That concerns me a little bit. ESPN claims that Nascar had stated that McClure had been speaking to officials, but after the race ESPN claimed that they were still awaiting "official" word from Nascar.flyingturns89 wrote: No update on McClure yet.

If you are trying to make fun of me for being biased toward F1, I don't care. I actually only watched this race out of pure boredom, and didn't care about it at all until I saw McClure's wreck, and I really hope he is alright.pennst24 wrote:Blake Camphausen wrote:I could care less about the rest of the race.

Thank you! I have to say, after looking at it again, Hornish flat out drove Danica into the wall. I also agree that Danica retaliating was wrong, considering they just past the start-finish line.

...and what happened just before he pushed her up the track? i couldn't care less for each of them but she tends to get too many free passes.

If he never went across the track like he did, especially being that Danica was going 5-10 MPH faster than him, this wouldn't have been an issue. The way Danica retaliated, that's a different story. All that aside, I hope Eric McClure's doing okay.
This. Both were in the wrong. There was no need for Hornish to cut up on Danica like that, and there was no need for Danica to stoop to his level

There's my two cents. News on McClure so far sounds good though it might be a season ender or possibly a career ender. Jeff Green might get promoted up to 14 car. Big ups to Erik Darnell on getting Curtis Key trash to P14!

Running someone into the wall is NOT blocking. Especially if you have a "flat tire"...he handled that car remarkably well for having a flat. People were driving just as close as Danica was to Hornish ALL. FREAKING. DAY and yet somehow he's the only one who can't handle it? Give me a break. Hornish drove like a jerk and people just want to blame the punching bag behind the 7 car. Keep in mind that I'm not Danica fan by any means, but blaming her for that first incident (not the retaliation which was 100% wrong to do) would be like blaming her for her crash at Daytona in the Gatorade Duel.

I'm not blaming her for the initial incident, it's just annoying that people are thinking that Hornish Jnr. should just let people drive by him because he has a flat tyre.

If you legitimately have a flat tire, you pull off the track and get out of the way so you don't get spun out or cause a wreck. A car with a flat tire is a car out of control, and any idiot should know and prepare for that. That includes idiots like Hornish

I'm even more surprised that the injuries Eric McClure sustained haven't been revealed yet, so then maybe we will know how long he will be out of action for.

Hey, I resemble that remark. :P And while it may be a bit snobbish, I do like to think that out comments are slightly higher quality than NASCAR.com. At least it isn't an endless series of "Go JUNYORRRR!!!!" and "Danica suxxx lol". Yeah, we've had our share of idots, but I can only think of one forum I've ever been in that didn't.

Reports are from his Facebook page is that they are still doing tests, but Eric is feeling pain in his right arm and leg, but is expected to be okay.

oh gawd, it was worse like two or three years ago before they purged a lot of the comments.
My personal favorite is...
Awesome Bill Kicks Butt again! The last unrestricted SuperSpeedway Race!! AWESOME BILL is the reason why there are restrictor plates!! The truely talented won at these tracks when it was unrestricted. Some guys get a lot luckier because of the damn Follow the Leader garbage we are watching today!

'Cause it doesn't matter if it's her fault or not, let's blame Danica for every wreck she's involved in.
[/sarcasm]
Besides, Hornish did NOT have a flat tire. Biggest load of crap I've ever heard in my life. While I don't condone what Danica did, I think she should stand up for herself, because these guys are gonna keep pushing her around until she starts putting her foot down.

she'll learn her lesson soon. But other than that, she should just focus on the job in hand.

They're doing some tests today on the extent of his injuries, his condition will be updated on his Facebook and Twitter.
Also, can I just say something about the recent content of this thread as well as content on this entire site recently. I'm getting a little sick of the language around here. People come and start cussing, and I'm pretty sure that's not what this site is for. I've seen about three or four f-bombs on here in just this thread, and there shouldn't be a single one. Certain people around here need to bite their tongues and think for a second, because the language used here is rediculous.

If I recall correctly, I believe there is a section in the rules that dealt with this very thing. I believe it even got bumped because of the last time language was talked about.

Re: 2012 Aaron's 312 - Nascar Nationwide Series
Thanks to alta for keeping me updated last night. I had to leave for work right after the crash. The last thing i saw was the roof coming off.
As i was watching the crash live, i remember seeing an orange blur shoot across the screen behind the cars i was watching, and the first thing i thought was "i have never seen a car move that fast left-to-right across the tv screen before". It was an unbelievable hit. There's no doubt that he would have been killed in pre SAFER and HANS days. Even so, I remember an ARCA race shortly after head and neck restraints became mandatory in which a stationary car was struck head on, resulting in the driver breaking his neck. This is what i'm most concerned about for McClure. An ankle/foot injury from the pedals is fairly easy to recover from, a neck injury is not

Even so, I remember an ARCA race shortly after head and neck restraints became mandatory in which a stationary car was struck head on, resulting in the driver breaking his neck. This is what i'm most concerned about for McClure. An ankle/foot injury from the pedals is fairly easy to recover from, a neck injury is not

My personal favorite is...Awesome Bill Kicks Butt again! The last unrestricted SuperSpeedway Race!! :( AWESOME BILL is the reason why there are restrictor plates!! The truely talented won at these tracks when it was unrestricted. Some guys get a lot luckier because of the damn Follow the Leader garbage we are watching today!
Believe me, I remember those days. Back when the comments page were mostly arguments between Thomas, Biffle16, and everyone else, I didn't bother to post at all. But we've gotten a lot better.
And yeah, Clayton was a bit of a doofus.

Hillin won because the Buick LeSabre was awesome on superspeedways. Lennie Pond was a solid driver, and running a Harry Ranier car at Talladega is almost a sure-fire win. Sacks won because of Gary Nelson. Bouchard you have a point about, but he did an excellent job of holding onto the draft all day. That *was* considerably more difficult pre-plates. To that extent, Clayton had a point. However, even as an Awesome Bill fanboy, I can't give him credit for restrictor plates.

Reports are from his Facebook page is that they are still doing tests, but Eric is feeling pain in his right arm and leg, but is expected to be okay.
has he broken any bones in any circumstances though?
They haven't said anything about it, but I'd be surprised if he didn't.
They're doing some tests today on the extent of his injuries, his condition will be updated on his Facebook and Twitter.
Also, can I just say something about the recent content of this thread as well as content on this entire site recently. I'm getting a little sick of the language around here. People come and start cussing, and I'm pretty sure that's not what this site is for. I've seen about three or four f-bombs on here in just this thread, and there shouldn't be a single one. Certain people around here need to bite their tongues and think for a second, because the language used here is rediculous.
I think this forum needs a rule to prevent words such as the F-word to be banned from being used when posting comments here.
It's an adult forum. If you don't like it, the door's over there.
If I recall correctly, I believe there is a section in the rules that dealt with this very thing. I believe it even got bumped because of the last time language was talked about.
https://efr1.forumotion.com/t183-forum-rules
I don't see any mention of language in that post, only discussing adult behavior. Also, holy quote tree batman.
Back on topic...
I honestly thought Nemechek had the race won, but I guess it wasn't meant to be unfortunately. Jeff URNHART had a good run going too before he got taken out by McClure in that big wreck on the backstretch.

But did those guys do much of anything else?!? Yes, shockers are a little more common with the plates on, but it wasn't like pre-plate, the top drivers were guaranteed a win, and the backmarkers couldn't guarantee themselves anything like now. Shockers still happened.

Jeff Earnhardt was a driver in a certain someone's offline league. Aside from that he really isn't that bad of a driver. Unfortunately there are some who say
"an URNHART in a Ford?!?!??!? That's WRONG!!!!!!!!1"
As for Eric McClure, he may be out of the car for a long time. Hopefully we'll see him on the track soon.

You can usually tell apart the long time fans from the blinded or short time fans.

Update on Eric McClure: Eric's wife posted on his Facebook that he will remain in the hospital overnight again, and that it is a miracle that he is not hurt worse, and thanks everyone for their support.

I don't have anything against female drivers, (Simona De Silvestro is one of my favourite IndyCar drivers) but what Danica did has no place in any sort of motorsport.
Also, if you haven't heard swearing before then you are probably not mature enough to be posting on forums.

Probably for the same reason a guy who hasn't won in 139 starts is, the fans like them. Granted that is obviously different from the people on here. Although, I don't have an issue with Danica. Honestly, the only problem I have with what she did is that it makes more work on the crew guys who weren't a part of it. Now if she had gotten out of the car and came over and got in Sam's face (like that would happen ) I think I would've been ok with it.
Re: 2012 Aaron's 312 - Nascar Nationwide Series
This is from the Jimmy Means Fans facebook page
We are keeping Eric McClure in our prayers for a quick recovery. The latest news heard is that he had pain in his right arm and leg due to bruising. He will be kept in the hospital for at least one more night to observe symptoms of a possible concussion.
