July 19, 200421 yr The in car camera worked for quite a while after the fire started.. not a pretty sight. Thank God he's ok.
July 19, 200421 yr Yeah its a good thing hes ok because that was a race he didnt even have to be racing. He will be back though for the Cup race next weekend.
July 19, 200421 yr He was very lucky that all he endured are second degree burns from what I heard about it. I didn't see replays of it but my boss did and he said Jr was very lucky that's the only injuries he sustained. I am willing to bet that Bud might as for restrictions on other racing he can do during the NASCAR season...
July 19, 200421 yr It amazes me that almost every nasty crash i see ends with the sportscenter anchor saying "he walked away from that with only minor injuries" I know this isn't the case every time, but it seems like these cars are pretty good at keeping people from getting really really injured, most of the time. Just commenting, as i don't know anything about Nascar or the cars.
July 19, 200421 yr Yeah I was surprised he didnt have a contract thing that doesnt allow him to race other cars. I think Stewart might have something like that because he wasnt allowed to race the Indy 500 because of something with his contract. Might have just been a sponsorship thing but im not sure. Then again Jr has more power over his contract considering it is DEI.
July 19, 200421 yr there is no reason he should have risked his ass in le mans, especially with the season he is (better not now be was ) having in nextel...
