NASCAR Rookie Escapes Major Injury NASCAR Rookie Escapes Major Injury After Toyota Rolls 8 Times at Texas Motor Speedway Quote: FORT WORTH, Texas — NASCAR Sprint Cup rookie Michael McDowell walked away virtually unscathed from a horrific tumbling crash during qualifying Friday at Texas Motor Speedway. McDowell was going into the first turn of his second lap when his No. 00 Toyota got loose, then slammed almost headfirst into the SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barrier. The car ricocheted off the wall and onto its roof, then rolled at least eight times before finally coming to rest at the bottom of the high-banked track. As he got out of the crumbled car, McDowell waved to the crowd indicating that he was OK. "I feel great, nothing broke," McDowell said. "I didn't lose consciousness. I felt every roll down the hill." McDowell said he had "few little bumps and bruises," but was fine other than that. While McDowell said he didn't know what happened, he said something "didn't quite feel right" on the car when he came out of fourth turn on the first lap. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,346849,00.html __________________ ASPCA

You should see the video of that crash, you talk about one heck of an impact. For him to walk away from an impact like that says allot about how much safer the cars are nowadays. __________________ "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW-- What a Ride!"

That was one nasty hit. I was at TMS the night Tony Roper hit the wall in the middle of the tri-oval and was killed. Sure glad this wasn't a repeat. Soft walls and car design seemed to work well. And the Man upstairs might have had a little to do with it as well. But all is well and let the race begin today. Guess I'll have to root for my sisters friend Carl Edwards.
