NASCAR - Sprint Unlimited

NASCAR - 2014 Sprint Unlimited 

NASCAR Racing kicked off Saturday night, February 15, 2014, with the Sprint Unlimited race.  Finishing with only 8 cars lead by Denny Hamlin. Jimmie Johnson started the wrecking in the first segment, just loosing it, spinning and eventually hitting the inside wall, dropping him out of the race.

In the second segment, Matt Kenseth started the "big one" after clipping Joey Lagano that send him sailing out of control and collecting 6 more cars, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick (who stayed on track). Danica Patrick, who had spun trying to avoid the managed to stay off the walls only to be slammed by boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who in my opinion was accelerating to get to her, if he couldn't see "like he claims" then why was he accelerating the car. The sound in the replays after he got caught up against the wall under Kurt

Busch and pulled way, clears shows he purposely accelerated that car, gunning directly at Danica.

With Terry LaBonte dropping out early, there were only 9 cars starting the last segment. 

Even the Pace Car had to get in on the action... catching on fire before the last segment.

The last segment had to get in on it too. Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Marcos Ambrose came together turning Earnhardt in the wall, ending his night. 

The new spoiler seems to be making the closing time shorter. Once the car pushing gets that clean air, it is "sucked" right up. 

Congratulations Denny Hamlin!!!
