Larson's fate was likely sealed as soon as he exited pit lane and the crash was out of his control.
Watch the motion of the car here as he rejoins the track after his pit stop.
Those impacts put load on the sidewall of the tire and weakened it leading to an eventual blowout.
250 years. This country is beautiful, complicated, and a work in progress. Which is a massive privilege, and is exactly what makes it so great. The freedom to use our voices, challenge the status quo, and responsibility to shape the future can easily be taken for granted. You don't have to agree with someone to have the same pride in the country we share. Real progress happens when we realize staying unified is bigger than our differences. USA!
Completely heartbroken to hear the news of Kyle’s passing.
I have so many memories of great battles with him throughout my career that I’ll cherish forever. It’s hard to even put into words what he meant to me and my career, whether he knew it or not. He was the bar we all measured ourselves against. Just a pure racer to the core. As real as they come.
I hate this so much for their family, Samantha, Lennix, and especially Brexton. The bond Kyle and Brexton shared, and everything he poured into his racing and his family, was incredible.
RIP KFB 💔
This is why drivers need to make absolutely sure all your saftey components are up to date and correct before you pull out on to the track .Here is @J_R_Fitzpatrick last night racing a super @OwossoSpeed1939 and the throttle hung wide open . JR is ok but still has minor injuries
🚨 SHOCKING: Hundreds of thousands of dollars were taken from NASCAR legend Greg Biffle’s accounts just hours after the crash that killed him and his family. Warrants were issued for his helicopter co-pilot Aaron Lloyd and Aaron’s wife, Kayelee Lloyd.
This should probably be a murder investigation now. 👀
@jackhunter74@beinlibertarian@RepThomasMassie I will never buy a car that can shut itself off because it made a judgement about my mood or capability. I would rather drive a fucking lawnmower.
Your wife is in labor. You’re excited and a little panicked. You need to get her to the hospital. Your car has determined you are to emotional and too excited to drive.
Your kid has an emergency at school. You are stressed and only want to get to your kid. Your car has decided you are too emotional and your heart is beating too fast to drive. You are stuck.
You are female. An assailant is chasing you. You make it to the supposed safety of your car. You are terrified. Your pulse is up. Your respiration is up. Your car decides you are not safe to drive. You are left to the hands of your assailant.
Are you fucking kidding me?!
Congress including the Republicans just rammed through laws letting your own damn car spy on you like a snitch and the American people absolutely loathe it!
But basic Voter ID? Something over 80 percent of us demand to stop election theft?
They cant even manage that. What a pathetic failure.
How the hell are these spineless gutless traitors this useless?! They shred our privacy on garbage nobody wants but wont lift a finger for the one thing America actually demands?!
Disgraceful cowards. Fire them all.
Dave Chappelle: "F*ck Bill Maher. I’m so tired of his little smug, cracker-ass commentary… These motherf*ckers act like because I did a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia I betrayed my principles."
Did the Executive Vice President & Chief Racing Development Officer of NASCAR really just say:
“The O’Reilly series struggles a little bit just from the car perspective”?!?!?!
ITS THE BEST RACING IN THE SPORT.
This sport is doomed if this guy is given more slack on his tether.
Thank you, @joerogan, for helping bring national attention to these potentially life-saving treatments for veterans and others living with mental illness, and for pushing this conversation into the mainstream.
