Believe it or not, Sprint Cup rookie Michael McDowell was virtually uninjured after a violent flip during qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway earlier today. After a check-up at the track's infield care center, he went on to do interviews. This is one of the most nastiest crashes I have ever seen. It's such a relief to see a rising star like Michael walk away.

I would say the C.O.T passed the test.

| I just seen it on the news, hold SH** that was a nasty one, so thankful he is okay and that the cars/equipment are being built to protect the driver.

| The Soft Wall also. And being Young. Now just think if that had been DJ or even Michael Waltrip.

| 20 years ago, he wouldn't have walked away from that. Saw that on SportsCenter last night.

| Yeah...that was pretty bad. Glad to see he was okay. I did notice a little bit of a limp in his walk, but I'm sure it was minor.

Exactly what I was thinking. That was one of the worst tumbles I have seen in Cup in many years.

I still cannot believe he is ok. Plus he didn't have that bad of a run yesterday, It was his 2nd race, and finished 33rd, after that crash.
I am really impressed with the CoT this year, the races have been close, and everything.Last edited on Monday Apr 7th, 2008 02:02 PM by sprint_car_fan2007
