Speaking of messages boards, I read Doug Esh turned her over last night on the 1st lap of practice. What was up that? You'd think if you had no experience running sans wings you'd take it easy at first. They really don't get it around here do they?
I didn't even stick around to watch. I was out at the campfire,( behind turn three), I heard him go into one and then nothing, then you could just hear the crunching. They say he took a nasty one. I heard he went over about 8 times. Barrel rolling and end over end and to quote the late great Phillies announcer Harry Kalas "That Ball is outtttttttaaaaaaaa herrrrrrre" in turn two. Needless to say he went in to turn one, just a little to hot
After Doug flipped, they shutter' down. Darrah didn't even come out....
