I asked Carl about how wild this wreck was, and his response was, "When you can smell the fuel burning, you know there's a barbecue. I knew who the meat was."
i remember watching this live. Couldn't believe someone actually flipped at the rock. Miss rockingham, north wilkesboro for that matter. nascar really needs to go back to its roots. Rockingham was a tough track. Love to see if five-time could handle it.
@redsoxguy617 surface sucked, the track owner didn't have enough to repave. I think it dumb... i love the track... it and Darltington are my favs.....
Rockingham always had boring races after the 70's... It's the truth... North Wilkesboro is a good track to bring back, and Texas World.. Rockigham has much closer ARCA race, and would be a good IRL track... it dosen't work in NASCAR
I think that they should get more seating (i think that's how it got closed down. Money also) and get this track back on the Cup circuit and replace a race at this track with the California chase race.
@767mandino so was I! I went to the 2009 spring arca race. they r so cheap. i used the bathroom they didnt even have soap despencers. the had bars of soap just sitting there

poor carl doesent have lots of money to begin with and then that happens must suck this must be the highlight of his whole career the other wrecks he had are just pittifull memories and long taking up space on track
Same here Mossy i remember watching this race in Australia on Foxtel (Cable Tv) It was a classic race i think this was the last race for the Sprint Cup Series here?
amazing wreck, and glad Carl is okay, and hope to see him get some $ raised to get back on track after his recent fine. Its kinda weird how the car just slowly rolled back over!
@N1kahnefan9 i don't know in real life... but i remember that in NR4, turn 2 usually made you go against the wall. i remember having fun just playing it with no damage, no cautions.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I see alot of comments fighting over which oval track is more exciting, well guess what they are ALL the same, they are all oval. NASCAR sucks, yeah i said it.
its amazing that they would take this track away after this race. It had this wreck, Robby Gordon almost did the same thing, and the finish between Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne. I guess they just go where the money is even if the replacement track is crappy. Why would they give Californie 2 races when some great racetracks don't have any at all?
ur right about that one the best tracks to watch r the short tracks and sometimes the superspeedways arnt to bad i cant wait till the pepsi 400 this weekend espescialy with the double file restarts
Anyone have the post-flip interview? Can't seem to find it.
Best line by a driver ever, too, something ot the effect of "Something must've happened, 'cause I saw people in the bleachers eatin' chicken all of a sudden..."
I live about 1 hour away from the Rock, and after Brian "the Fuhrer" France took the races away I said "fuck you" NAZICAR, and I'm throufgh with them. I use to go to the races there, but NAZICAR gave them such shitty ass race dates that it was always cold, Oh well I guess Fagifornia speedway is a better market.
They all go where the money goes. Rockingham is a real unique racetrack, why the hell go to California (a boring wide track) and otehr places like that and exclude Rockingham and Darlington? Darlington has been threatened for years, it already lost the Southern 500 to Fagifornia as you call it. ITs all about money and viewing figures and likely media attention, at the expense of traditional fans. Sounds like English soccer.
did you mean to type "lots of people more INTELLIGENT THAN you. If you are going to insult someone over their intelligence make sure your dumb ass knows how to spell. You fuck.
Carl Long is a bit of an independent racer, he races a lot in his own stuff and with an up and coming team. They are often called field-fillers. Carl Long will most likely be best remembered for this crash.
what the hell is so fun about watching guys through a ball back and forth like in football or like in basketball, or watchin guys kick a ball back and forth like in soccer,
please tell me whats so special about any other sport,
atleast in nascar you get fights, 43 people(instead of 2 teams) fighting for a win, you get rivalries, you have different strategies, you have crashes, and you get to watch some of the best athletes battle it out for hours for a win
its funny that 2 people did that in this race and that when he stopped and was on his roof its weird how it fliped back over - usually u r gonna be upside down for a while
I always wonder what that one guy who disliked's motive was for disliking.
Did he dislike Nascar? Did he dislike stuff flipping over? Did he dislike Carl Long?
