who can blame Tagliani? Tracy appears to have gotten his racing license out of a ******* jack box. I would have beat the living holy **** out of him for that stunt.

and tagliani is smart with leaving the helmet on. i never understood NFL players when they punch the other guy in the helmet. i doubt it hurts.

does anyone have the video of the accident? i missed it that night on the replays.

Is there a little bit more missing from the "fight"? I could've sworn I saw a bit more footage from other replays.

And you could just hear all the f words flying around

tracy overshot a right hander turn. the safety zone allowed him to do a 180 degree turn and then back to the course. he had to make a left handed turn.

but he saw incoming traffic making that turn so jumps it just in time for tagliani to run into him...

both are taken out of the race.

any non race fan could see tracy was at fault.

For those that didn't see it, this one has more footage including the crash itself in the beginning of the vid.

Tag didn't run into tracy. Tracy swung his backend into Tag ripping off his front end and damaging his suspension. Tracy told the reporters that he was having trouble with his brakes all race long. Tracy is the biggest A-hole racer I've ever seen. I watched him on numerous occasions purposely spin out the car in front of him to gain a position. I have always hated that guy.

so Tracy ran into the runoff, came back out, miscalculated, and then BAM! hits Tag in the front?

Tag said he saw him coming in, why didnt he hit the brakes? im not defending Tracy again ( i have for years, not this time ) , im just saying...

um well lets see there doing 180+ as the head towards that turn, just cause he saw him doesnt mean it gave him a chance to avoid him.

as someone eles said tracy messed up and in frustration he tried to bully his way back on the track, tracy is a corn hole
