Damn Lapped Cars

Lapped cars always seem to find a way to ruin the days of guys running on the lead lap. Here are just a few instances.

What happened with that last one?

[NascarNixon]

@byrnz35: The three guys battling for 3rd on the last lap got hung behind the red #16 car and Phil Parsons (in the white car) got impatient and turned the 16, causing everyone to wreck off the corner. The cars of Parsons and Stevie Reed were so badly damaged they stopped inches short of crossing the line.

Brad Daugherty's reaction is priceless at 2:45

The weird coincidence of that Watkins Glen clip? Allmendinger is now in the #22, and Kurt Busch is now in the #51... Maybe Boris Said will drive the #30 at this year's road courses? Inception Motorsports is set to run David Stremme for all but the two road-course races this year...

I love it when Kyle Busch gets taken out of the race by a lapped down car in front of him! Makes me jump for joy cus I'm tired of seeing a ugly ass Toyota Camry dominating the race! Dodge, Chevy, Ford all the way!!!!!

@NascarNixon kinda ironic that AJ drives the 22 now and when this happens hes on the radio saying IM GONNA BUST THE 22 IN HIS ASS!

@NascarNixon Thanks. Lapped cars are a bit of a problem huh? haha

I can't think of the year...maybe it was 1999? Darlington...a couple lapped cars crash in front of Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon running 1-2...but it was raining right after the crash happened so Burton ended up winning with a destroyed race car.

I think the 2002 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 big one wouldve been a good addition to this.

Tim Schendel, I think I love you.

One that comes to mind is the 1998 Busch race at South Boston when Joe Bessey held up Junior for several laps and Junior bumped him. NASCAR ended up blackflagging Junior for rough driving which took him out of the race lead.
