1989 Chevy Suburban is my guess.

Biggest?

Boss Hoss must be a contender too:

Having personally raced at BIR, there is plenty of space between the long sweeping turn 2 and turn 3 at 140 plus, if you are cognizant of what you are doing, and this guy had lots of experiance and was no rookie. He could have easily pushed the clutch in and blown the motor, hit the kill switch, hit the fire bottles…

Let the car/motorcycle porn commence...

BIR has a lot more runoff room than Road America and except for the front straightaway has a lot less concrete walls. Turn 3 is not especialy dangerous unless you dont slow down for it which is the appearance of what happened here.

Was at the race when this crash happened. When the helicopter touched down on turn 3 everyone knew it had to have been a real nasty wreck.

Thats more my point - she is constantly collected in wrecks, most likely a product of often being mid-pack

Don’t tractor trailers go the better part of 1000 miles on a single tank? (5mpg with a 300+ gallon tank)
BUT THE RANGE remains a valid complaint.
Completely stonewalling this notable fact drags this story down to a level barely better than propaganda.

Average long haul fleet trucks are spec’d with two 100 gallon tanks for weight savings. You can only fit 180 gallons of fuel in though so 180x7mpg = 1260 miles.

A Toyota Mirai has 151 hp, but 2 Maria fuel cell stacks produce 670hp in the semi. This doesn’t add up.

I used to drive highway line-haul, and I used to fantasize about having an electric “jake brake” that would charge a battery as I descended a hill.

That video was kind of fixed in that the diesel truck started in “granny” low gear and went through every gear, something you would never do with an empty trailer.

If you’re too smart/sophisticated for NASCAR, why bother comment on a post about it? Nobody gives a fuck about your personal tastes in motorsports.

His interview after his race ended is why Jr will be missed. For all the pedigree, racing for the best prepped team, and having some of the biggest sponsors throughout his career, Dale gets it. He always makes sure the fans know how important they are. “We do it for the fans”

When “real drivers” ran wide open people died.

F1 also has no passing, which is convenient.

Yeah, that doesn’t really happen. And the few times it has, including your example nascar has penalized the living crap out of those teams for it. Not like in F1 where the shit is practically condoned.

We get that kind of racing in NASCAR in 32 out of 36 races. Part of the appeal of the restrictor plate races is that almost anybody can win them if they can managed to get up front toward the end, and you can get wild swings in position and fortune in a few laps. Hell, Stenhouse was right in the middle of that crash…

I don’t think so.
