Michael McDowell Rolls At Texas
If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to check out the video of this wreck today.
On Monday, Michael McDowell had a long talk with Jeff Burton about driver etiquette. After walking away from a wild crash during Friday’s Sprint Cup qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway, the next conversation between the two may be about safety, something that’s near and dear to Burton’s heart.
Heading into Turn 1 on his second qualifying lap, McDowell’s No. 00 Toyota twitched, then shot up the track as he tried to catch the spin. The rookie slammed nearly head-on into the SAFER barrier, then spun upside down for several hundred yards before the car began a series of at least eight barrel rolls, coming to rest right-side up on the backstretch (watch video).
There’s really nothing else to say except, holy shit! I’m glad he walked away from that.
