According to what the announcers said during practice when he wrecked, he won't have to go to the back of the field. But then, that was two days ago, who knows what the rulebook says now.

It's moments like this that make me think of something Tony (that would be Bad!Tony) said when he was answering a question about rules and gray areas on one of those late shows a few years back. "You have to remember, we have NASCAR as a sanctioning body..."

I must admit, that line always makes me snicker.

42. (77) Sam Hornish Jr., Dodge, Penske Truck Rental

Here's hoping he doesn't drive like he's driving a truck.

Or if he does, he does it in a useful kind of way. Like somewhere in the vicinity of Kyle Busch, rather than Clint Bowyer =P

Wreckfest was the 20th anniversary observation of this, for lo, I am morbid and twisted and possibly a little bit crazy. *looks angelic*

Wow, that's really an amazing amount of stuff to go through. As someone who has gone through traumatic stuff myself, I think Wreckfest is a great idea!
