    Saw this thread out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was going to be something chauvinistic and funny at first.

    I can't stand Waltrip he thinks he knows everything about racing. In testing at Daytona speeds of over 200 mph where reached I think the top speed was 205. A normal track speed is 180 to 190 that is scary fast.

    Can a mod start a poll re:more likely to cause destruction and mayhem:

    Terrorist with a Toyota pickup stuffed with C-4 cruising Jalalabad versus Danica in the #7 goDaddy.com cruising Daytona.

    Juan has wrecked at one time or another, every Nascar driver. Guess he also had a problem with the jet dryer driver too. Glad everone is ok.

    Option #3: Montoya taking out the jet dryer.

    Watched the whole thing till 1am. Montoya is either an idiot or it is just some HUGE coincidence he ran into a jet dryer. I say he never saw it and panicked and slid into it.
