Gas man on the 33 is going to get fired.

Well, I was assuming he was going to take out Danica on that restart. All things considered, that worked out better than expected.

1) You lost a bet
2) You're blind
3) ...

Whoa! Nice save, Kurt!

I actually saw one parked outside the other day, doesn't look bad at all.

Poor dude, first the water bottle of doom, and now the sandtrap.

That could've been a bunch worse.

It blows my mind that you can get your motorcycle licence on one of those.

Also, these cars apparently really really don't like turn 5.

Kurt and Jacques both in desperation mode back in the field.

I am sure they will not be involved in any further incidents today.

I wish Fark had a "smartass" button instead of a "smart" button.

I chuckled. It will surely be interesting shortly.

Jacques is probably cursing that you can't put a Nationwide car sideways in a turn like you could a CART car so you could carry some extra speed through the turn.

Did Sadler just drop an F bomb? I can't farkin' tell.

No yellow. Carry on.

The funny part is how the commercials make it seem like those riders are embraced and brothers in arms with all bikers.

Maybe he was saying he got Jacque'd

Papis is picking up the pace.

Mostly for fear of the 22.

And Danica is showing a lot of those Nationwide guys how you drive a road course (along with Piquet Jr.).

She's actually running a classic Danica road race. Just kinda derp along hoping to stay out of trouble, get near the front, then fade.

MRN: Eli Gold now explaining what the different colours on the Brazilian flag represent.

I say as she passes Papis.

Jensaarai: I say as she passes Papis.

Not for long.

MRN on Piquet: "Professional driver on a closed course."

Credit to ESPN for following where the tightest action is instead of just showing the front.

Oh damn, that sucks. Not a Danica fan, but that sucks.

WTF

Jacques will be lucky to get out of the country alive.

I'm Ron Fellows

can't wait to hear danica.

haha, love that guy.

Yeah, the post-race interview will be amazing.

Wow. Even Eli Gold is calling out Jacques for that move.

Hell of a race! Very awesome to see Piquet take the win. And hell, the entire top 5! I've been saying for a while that Michael McDowell deserves to drive for anyone buy Phil Parsons. He is too good to be a Star And Parker.

A Road America Nationwide race that didn't seem like an all day sucker?

I can hear the suits at ESPN now: "Hey, NASCAR! Penalize those numbnuts for that shiat! We need Danica up near the lead to make us some more money!".

ClavellBCMI: I can hear the suits at ESPN now: "Hey, NASCAR! Penalize those numbnuts for that shiat! We need Danica up near the lead to make us some more money!".

Danica doesn't have to run up front for ESPN to concentrate on her all race long.

ClavellBCMI: I can hear the suits at ESPN now: "Hey, NASCAR! Penalize those numbnuts for that shiat! We need Danica up near the lead to make us some more money!".

Given what happened, it wouldn't be an unjustified gripe.

I dunno what the hell JV was thinking. She passed clean, and he punted her.

you could tell from the in-car camera that it wasn't on purpose.

Yep. Put the tinfoil hat away, that move was crap.

Dumb-Ass-Monkey: I dunno what the hell JV was thinking. She passed clean, and he punted her.

What gets me is how they jumped thinking Danica was offline in the previous corner. No, she knew she had a faster car and could go past Papis on the short chute and just was setting up for 5.

What_Would_Jimi_Do: you could tell from the in-car camera that it wasn't on purpose.

He was out of control all the way down the straight. The guy is notorious for overdriving his car exactly like that. At least he *only* took out 4th place this time.

as the announcers said, wheel hop or not, he still punted her.

On MRN, Jacques showed no remorse, but Max Papis said he felt terrible about what happened to Danica.

good_2_go: Max Papis said he felt terrible about what happened to Danica.

And Papis was out there hanging on for dear life for a few laps, I'm wondering if he's surprised he didn't get passed sooner given he had a slower car.
