What are the odds of that happening?

Both races occurred on the same day (May 29, 2011)

JR lost the 500 while Jr. lost the 600

Both drivers were driving cars that were sponsored by the National Guard

Both drivers had the lead heading into Turn 4 of the Final Lap

Both drivers ended up losing (Hildebrand finished in 2nd while Earnhardt Jr. finished in 7th)

RIP Dan Wheldon

  • ...man how pissed off are Junior fans at Harvick? Two races stolen from his fingers in one season

    Yet another question, how much do Junior haters love Harvick?

    A WHOLE LOT!!!

  • @Slotten68

    to answer the first question, I can PROBABLY see why Junior fans would be pissed at Harvick for the Goody's Fast Relief 500, but I can't understand why Junior fans would be pissed AT Harvick for the Coca Cola 600. Is it Harvick's fault that Junior ran out of gas in the 600? What if Hamlin hadn't run out of gas too? Then would Junior fans hate Hamlin instead of Harvick?

    In response to your second question, how much do Carl Edwards haters love Tony Stewart? A WHOLE LOT!!!

  • Actually Kasey Kahne, Dale Earnhardt Jnr, and Denny Hamlin were 1-2-3 when the restart took place on Lap 401.

  • @WhiteHatBobby

    oh I wasn't actually talking about the restart. I was talking about the start of the final lap. Guess I should have been more specific about that (or maybe I should have started the clip there instead)

  • even worse both are national guard sponsored cars

  • @jlogano20

    already said. Thanks anyways

  • The other coincidence is that in each case one of the drivers used to drive for the other's team.

    Hildebrand replaced Wheldon at Panther Racing and Dale Jr. obviously used to drive for Dale Earnhardt Inc.

  • Last victory for Dan Wheldon, the most important: the Indy 500! Comments in radio are so exciting "YES, YES,YES". Well'never forgot you..always in our mind!!! :)

  • @boygenius88 Thank you! I really appeciate it!...

  • @Ultimate23Dragon

    oh wow you just reminded me. I have to change a bit of the description: RIP Wheldon :(
