Just for him to even be able to talk to reporters after that wreck says something about the car. They might be crap for racing but boy, they can take a hit.

BTW, there's just something with Pocono and really bad crashes. Allison, Park/Earnhardt Jr, Gordon, Schrader and now Sadler.

Those cars are a lot like the cars we drive on the road today in that the car may look like crap when its over but you have a good chance of coming out of it. They're designed really well and while the engine flying out makes you go wow what a hit its better that it came out and the front absorbed the hit rather than the engine go into the cockpit of the car. After seeing that wreck the bank and guard rail curving out like that really didn't look like it served a purpose. I'm sure they'll fix it now and its good someone didn't die or get seriously engine before doing so.

NASCAR claims it was the hardest impact in the sport's history.
Not surprising. For an impact to know the ENTIRE engine out of the car, it would take an extraordinary amount of force.

Jayski mentioned the other hardest hits recorded.

Gordon at Vegas

Reutimann at California

That was the toughest crash I've seen in a long time. His engine came out of the car. He could barely get out of the car and soon as he did he lay motionless on the ground. I bet you he won't be racing again this year.

What a crash.I thought he had bought the farm after the way he got hit.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
