NASCAR Sprint Cup Series opener On lap 160 of 200, Juan Pablo Montoya in his Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevy was returning to the track following a pit stop, when his car had brake failure and losing control of his No42 Chevrolet causing him to lose control in turn 3 and crash into one of the jet dryers used to clear the track of debris. The jet dryers hold up to 200 gallons of fuel, which ignited on impact. The resulting an inferno and delay lasted over 2 hours while NASCAR officials cleaned and repatched the track for damage following the fire.
No one was heavy injured during this accident, thankfully.
In the race itself, five times Nascar Sprint Champion Jimmy Johnson crashed out of the race on lap two, taking out in the process with a change of having a great race from Danica Patrick too.
After 200 laps, Matt Kenseth won the Daytona 500, in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford ahead of Dale Earnhardt, Jr in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. While, Roush team mate Greg Biffle finished third. Despite the Daytona 500 itself was delayed for over 24 hour because of rain.
Anyway, end of post for now, new one soon. That is all. Bye.
