Juan Pablo Montoya Crashed Into a Jet Drier at the Daytona 500
All, Car Racing, NASCAR, Video February 27th. 2012, 10:43pm
The Daytona 500 has come to a screeching halt with 40 laps to go after Juan Pablo Montoya’s car spun out of control and slammed into a jet drier containing 200 gallons of jet kerosene, causing a fiery mess of an explosion. I’m happy to report Montoya got out of his No. 42 Chevy unscathed.
A crew is working on cleaning up the track, but it’s ugly and could be awhile before they resume racing.

Umm, I believe you were already asked nicely to never post anything NASCAR again.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:52 PM
This man won 7 Formula 1 Grand Prix races. Something must have broke on the car.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:53 PM
But he’s so good at it. He knows all the nuances. Like:
That’s how you do it.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:53 PM
What is this 4+ Nascar posts today. Zero NHL Trade Deadline posts. Seems about right. Now start the damn race! I wanna watch this shit.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:53 PM
I will stop talking about racing once Darren Rovell does, and not a minute sooner.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:54 PM
Plus, Texansfan is a blackout drunk. Mix that with the Daytona 500 happenening at night and consider yourself lucky there have been no death threats.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:55 PM
Ballz, I might take out “unscathed” in the future and go with “uninjured” since this is, after all, for the racing audience.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:55 PM
Nice post Tim. Thanks for posting. Keselowski is still texting from the track!
February 27th, 2012 at 10:58 PM
He’s already my favorite driver. He’s a down to earth dude.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:59 PM
Well Vlad needs his hockey, so you’re going to have to do some more work tonight regardless.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:59 PM
That may be a good idea. You’re alway’s sore after an accident. But since I am part of the ‘racing audience’, I’ll be expecting more F1 posts from you, big dog. Way better than NASCAR.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:01 PM
This man won 7 Formula 1 Grand Prix races. Something must have broke on the car.
Given. Still unlikable.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:02 PM
Yes he sounds like a must follow on the twit.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:03 PM
Racist.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:13 PM
Racist.
Nah. He drives too aggressively in relation to his ability.
Kyle Bush – unlikable as well, but his high level of aggressiveness is nearly matched by his talent.

How many race car drivers does it take to blow up a safety truck?
Just Juan.

I’ll try the veal and tip my waitress. Well done.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:19 PM
Excuse me? Blackout drunk? Really? You dumb piece of shit… You have me confused for someone else. I hardly ever catch a “buzz” let alone blackout.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:21 PM
If you only like follow the leader
February 27th, 2012 at 11:22 PM
I laughed out loud at this.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:22 PM
You don’t know me ole boy
February 27th, 2012 at 11:23 PM
How many laps down is Danica? Put her in the fucking garage. Good gawd.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:24 PM
just because I got tired of your faggot ass talking shit about Manning after the Saints Superbowl you think I’m a blackout drunk. So be it. You’ve admitted to being a junkie. Whats your point?
February 27th, 2012 at 11:26 PM
This:
February 27th, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Once they start the race, how long is it gonna take? Under an hour or longer?
February 27th, 2012 at 11:29 PM
Plus, you admitted to being drunk when you apologized. The blackout part was just a joke. So calm down, big dog.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:31 PM
Assuming 10 yellow laps … 35-45 minutes.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:54 PM
An honest question here, whay is F1 looked at as so superior to Nascar?
February 27th, 2012 at 11:57 PM
February 28th, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Watch 1 race and that’ll answer your question. They race on road courses. The best tracks in the world. Cars are lighter, more powerful, constructed by the best engine/chassi makers in the world (Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Renault, Red Bull Racing), way more technical, much more grip. More speed. I can go on……
February 28th, 2012 at 12:00 AM
What is Juan Pablo Montoya doing? Eating Tacos while hes driving?!
February 28th, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Hi Bob
February 28th, 2012 at 12:03 AM
So DW(I think) is saying the race isn’t gonna finish. A good point, but id love to see them pit under caution move the back of the lead lap, then have NASCAR decide it’s unsafe and screw anyone that did pit.
/took me five minutes to type
//get a fucking mobile site
February 28th, 2012 at 12:05 AM
BTW, I know ‘Red Bull Racing’ doesn’t sound that impressive, but they’re the 2 time defending World Champions.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:06 AM
Restarting, running a few laps and stopping under red flag would be a travesty. Don’t start this race unless going all the way.
/first NASCAR Laps I’ve watched in probably 10 years
February 28th, 2012 at 12:07 AM
Is it possible Ms. Pissy Britches can win?
February 28th, 2012 at 12:09 AM
Not after blowing up that jet dryer…
February 28th, 2012 at 12:11 AM
Im glad no one is dead. Seems like multiple people should be dead at this point.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:12 AM
SMH. I have so much to teach you all. If only texansfan wasn’t a blackout drunk.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:19 AM
Eat shit Flo! Fuck the Geico car.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:20 AM
Lap traffic is scary.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:20 AM
Nevermind. That’s the gecko company. Fuck him too.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:22 AM
It’s hard to see who is making moves the way they cover the race. There’s gotta be a better way to take in the whole race from a big picture. Can we gray out lapped cars? Make teams the same color? Glo-puck cars that move up?
/73% kidding
February 28th, 2012 at 12:22 AM
I’d bang Flo, there, I said it!!!
February 28th, 2012 at 12:24 AM
DirecTv channels 795-798 have free driver in car camera with the fox coverage side by side, plus that drivers radio talk.
They have this all season every race.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:25 AM
If Dale Jr. wins. The fix is in.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:25 AM
Harvick, Kyle Busch, Earnhardy Jr, and Edwards are the 4 drivers on those channels.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:26 AM
If you’re in a caution would you ever not take tires? You lose the same position anyway versus the rest of the cars…. Is it just if other people are putting to beat them out of the pits?
February 28th, 2012 at 12:27 AM
West Coast/midwest bias! It finally happened!
February 28th, 2012 at 12:29 AM
If you just need a lil bit of fuel you might just take that, or just take 2 tires versus 4. The less you take the faster you get back out there, and the better position you are in.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:30 AM
Depends on when the last caution was, how many other drivers have fresh rubber, how big a team you are (smaller teams will take bigger risks to try to get sponsorship in case of a good finish). If your on tired rubber, then the teams that pit will pass you like a train. The real question is: right side tires or 4 tires.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:31 AM
Seriously how is Nemechek allowed out there 20 mph slower than everyone else.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:32 AM
Eh, I dont know how anyone can watch this for more than 30-45 minutes.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:33 AM
Shake and bake! I really wish I had any idea what was going on.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:33 AM
If you are the only car pitting on a caution lap, you will lose more positions taking 4 vs 2 tires? I assumed you’d get passed by everyone who stays out no matter what.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:37 AM
Foot-wide duct tape!
February 28th, 2012 at 12:47 AM
Overdrive?
February 28th, 2012 at 12:48 AM
I could totally get into this sport if there were not so many stoppages. Especially if I was drinking and knew what the heck was going on.
February 28th, 2012 at 12:59 AM
Eh, I dont know how anyone can watch this for more than 30-45 minutes.
Best Sunday afternoon nap ever:
Watch the first 10 laps while sipping a cool adult beverage.
Sleep.
Wake.
Watch the last 10 laps.
/happiness increases exponentially if it’s raining wherever you are.

So I’m trying to watch the NASCAR clip posted, and some fucking Randy Moss commentary starts playing. I pause the goddamn Jeremy Lin video, but that doesn’t help—probably because Jeremy Lin isn’t Randy Moss. So I pause the NASCAR clip, check for pop-unders, close all my other tabs, and still can’t find the source of this fucking audio. By now, it should be clear that I’m an idiot.
Finally, I manage to kill the audio by closing the Big Lead tab.
Also, Firefox is telling me it “prevented this site from opening 3 pop-up windows.”
I understand the need for advertising, but sometimes this blog feels like an attack site with all this cheap, desperate shit going on. Tell the people at USA Today to clean it up. Or maybe it’s just part of their signature aesthetic. See, e.g., http://static7.businessinsider.com/image/4d9e1989cadcbbbd5e170000/usa-today.jpg
February 28th, 2012 at 2:03 AM
Rams to officially trade #2 overall pick…I am aware no one is on this at this hour
February 28th, 2012 at 2:47 AM
I’m on. And RiSK wins. I get you, dog. Texansfan doesn’t. But that isn’t because he’s stupid. He’s just a blackout drunk.
February 28th, 2012 at 7:10 AM
Go fuck yourself, shitbag.
February 28th, 2012 at 7:54 AM
Phenomenal.
February 28th, 2012 at 7:57 AM
wow. things escalated rather quickly.
February 28th, 2012 at 7:58 AM
sadly, you make some very, very good points.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:00 AM
Ballz is a little annoying fuck. That is all
February 28th, 2012 at 8:04 AM
Am I to believe from this that the situation is unlikely to improve?
February 28th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
I complain only because I love. Thanks for understanding.
