The Texas Motorplex isnt called the Murderplex for no reason. It changes from asphalt to concrete, and the concrete will eat up your tires if you hit the breaks to hard there. There have been a few GOOD drivers that have crashed at that track. Instead of being hard on Nolan, maybe we should be doing something about that track.

I actually gave RJ a ride the end of the track to make sure Nolan was okay so I was one of the 1st people on the scene. The skid marks start AFTER the finish line, so yes ,because the breaks locked up it was rules excessive by the officials, but it was not because Nolan is a "Dumbass driver". The tire was flat so it has yet to be determined if that was the cause or not. Before you start calling people a "Dumbass" know your facts and understand that it could happen to any person that straps into a race car. That's why they make everybody wear safety equipment and not just the Dumbasses.
