Avenger1647545502 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Jesus.....absolutely the worst crash I've seen involving NASCAR racing. Poor guy never had a damn chance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuyXXC0WFrA&feature=related For those who don't know, the NASCAR Mexico series is roughly equivalent to our Nationwide series in the states, but with more emphasis on road courses. The cars are essentially the same, and usually made by the same companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Damn, their safety standards must be MUCH lower than in our country. But I guess it makes sense, it is Mexico. Those cars didn't even look up to Nationwide standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 suxors. As mentioned before that could have been completely avoided by actually using some common sense with the track design and safety prep. At least it was probably quick for the driver.

The car disintegrated as a result of the impact. Pardo was removed from the wreckage and sent by helicopter to a hospital. The NASCAR Mexico Web site reported that he died 45 minutes later. Pardo was later declared winner of the race in Pueblo, east of Mexico City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I thought all that liquid that flew in the air was fuel, then I realized he hit water barrels. WTF were water barrels suppose to do in taht situation on a front strait at WOT?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Pardo was removed from the wreckage and sent by helicopter to a hospital.

CRed05 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Wow. Track should have been designed a little better there. But that's one of those times when you have to be coming from exactly that angle for it to be a problem, and unfortunately for him, he did.

wagner Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 BOGEY. I was hoping for his sake that it was just quick and done. Definitely sorry to hear that wasn't the case. It might be the case like for NASCAR like Disney. Nobody is ever declaired "dead" on disney property. They are always decleaired dead at the hospital no matter what happens. Makes things for the company look a little better I guess. That is a very bad tradk design and did anybody else notice how much the cars seemed to be moving up and down?

ImUrOBGYN Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 That blue car on his inside completely pitted him. I mean, it seriously looked like the guy jerked his car to the left to pit that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two were racing each other hard, there was a lot of contact back and forth. It's how body cars race, you give them a tap to get them loose, they have to back off the throttle to avoid spinning, and you zip on buy. You aren't TRYING to spin them out, or crash them, but it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
