I've posted this a bunch but I always forget who's new or not

Blowovers, as they are called, used to be more common than they are now. It happened because firstly, the cars were about 20mph faster before restrictor plates were installed. Couple that with no roof flaps, no side skirts, a higher ride height and then toss that 200mph mess sideways across (possibly wet) grass and the car turns into a wing, basically.

Mainly the unevenness of the ground where the grass is (was, most tracks paved these spots) coupled with 200+ mph speeds and you get short duration lift.

Yup the number's right. LFR put Ty Dillon in the 95 and McDowell to the 59 team he raced into the Daytona 500. The 7's charter means that both LFRs 59 and 95 now have charters.

Thankfully driver was okay. Was definitely a fuel fire by the way it burned.

loving fire crew ignored the running, flaming driver to try and put the car out for a good 30 seconds. All they had were goddamn pressurized water bottles, no foam or powder.

I was kinda disappointed that time I covered the Outlaws race at the local dirt track. No wrecks at all.

Daytona and Talladega I can understand, but the Brickyard, flat as Danica's chest? Boo. Also lol Indy only makes the news in NASCAR when somebody does Double Duty. Pretty sure the prestigiousness list is Daytona, Talladega, Charlotte, and Darlington.

Has anybody run a full-power Cup car on a plate track since Bill Elliott set the record just before restrictor plates were mandated?

it's simple aerodynamics, a car is small in front and big in back, when it gets backwards at 150mph, it's a perfect airfoil. Hence the roof flaps on the modern cars.
