Christ almighty, that's a shunt and a half! If that hadn't rolled, I reckon he wouldn't have climbed outta that. Lucky lucky boy. 3 years earlier and he'd be a goner for sure.

Ouch thats gonna hurt, incredible safety, only watch NASCAR every so often, last time was last year lol.

Incredible shunt. Amazing that he just walks away.

took the track marshals 3 hours to fix the walls/safer barrier :\

WoaH!

He just walked away from it, just shows how safety has improved throughout the years

Am amazed he got out so easily, not often you see a NASCAR flip like that alone, and the speed he was going at that point was incredible....

Well Nascar commentators have a bloody short memory, then. Great so see he's ok. Have to agree that 3 years earlier it may have been a different story, the quick hook-around and angle of impact reminds me of Gordon Smiley's accident.

Just before the car starts its first swing to the left, you can see smoke coming out of the right rear. Puncture?

Think it might have been dust - they mentioned cement dust from an earlier incident in the clip.

If a tyre had went down then he'd have went round much faster than he did. Dust was definatly from the track.

Glad to see him coming out on his own legs!

It would be @#$%& scary if he came out on someone else's.

I can't say that's not a possibility, but from what I've heard on other boards, its not as likely. There was quite a bit of dust in Turn 1, don't know if that happened to have anything to do with it, although a slow puncture can cause enough problems to slowly send the car into that slide the way it did.

just my two cents.
