The Big Crash at the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series
Big crash on the last lap at the 1st race of the 2014 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, held at Mosport.
That’s about 100 mph.
Ray Courtemanche Jr., of Montreal, and Canadian Touring Car Championship veteran Bob Attrell of Brampton, on Sunday, May 18 2014.
And see me flinch while filming? Ha.
And this is why people love NASCAR.
Rustye Number 9 in NASCAR
This past weekend I cheered on my friend Russ Bond, in his first NASCAR race.
He competed in the 1st race of 2014’s NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, held at Mosport.
Here he is mid-wave.
See the full wave here, which we find quite funny, but the internet does not, which makes no sense, and is like the ‘texting with this bear‘ thing all over again.
Non-car nerds: this is a tough race, because a NASCAR is designed to go around an oval track, left left left.
And this race is on a course which is clearly not, with a top speed of 260 km/h.
18th/30, probably would’ve been top 10 but for a small hiccup in the pits, ridiculously good.
Congratulations Russ!
If there ain’t rubbing, it ain’t racing.
A NASCAR Pitstop Looks like This
Readying to re-fuel.
Fire-retardant everything.
NASCAR rules state one thing per stop, as in, you can’t both refuel and change tires at the same time, it must be done in two stops.
A few seconds lost during the process, could mean falling behind 5 or 6 places out on the track.
Re-start the engine, push push push GO.
