All Hell Breaks Loose Postrace In Charlotte

((HT: NASCAR on ABC/ESPN))

First, the end of the race in Charlotte this evening gave Kevin Harvick a win to advance in the new version of The Chase...
But all hell broke loose after the fact...

Your finish


And a longer version with commentary from some rather intense, very young NASCAR fans (NSFW)...


Then, Kenseth jumped Keselowski between the haulers out back to express some severe displeasure


Expect Kenseth, Keselowski, and Hamlin to visit The Big Red Truck very soon- and to, perhaps, be a little lighter in the wallet...

Reminded the HQ of something like this


Doesn't it...???

Here's postgame with Doc and Brad and Vince and Denny...

DEVELOPING: F1's Bianchi Undergoes Surgery After Suzuka Crash

((HT: Sky Sports/F1))

This doesn't look good, but we could also say the same thing about racing in a super-typhoon.

Marussia driver Jules Bianchi is in critical condition after crashing during the Japanese Grand Prix

Here's the look we can give you until F1 pulls it...


Bianchi was dianosed with a serious head injury and underwent emergency surgery. It appears that while Adrian Sutil's car was being hoisted onto a crane for track removal, Bianchi experienced an apparent hydroplane in the same spot in Turn 7.

Sutil was asked about what he saw: "I aquaplaned. The rain got more and more. One lap later with waved yellow flags, Jules came around and had the same spin there and that was it. It was the same crash but the outcome was different. The car came out to rescue my car and it all happened."

And F1 released a statement themselves:

"On lap 42, Adrian Sutil lost control of his car, spun and hit the tire barrier on the outside of Turn 7. The marshals displayed double waved yellow flags before the corner to warn the drivers of the incident. A recovery vehicle was dispatched in order to lift the car and take it to a place of safety behind the guardrail. While this was being done, the driver of car 17, Jules Bianchi, lost control of his car, travelled across the run-off area and hit the back of the tractor."

Andy Murray Crashes Will Ferrell Interview

((HT: SkySports/USTA))

Will Ferrell has been known to frequent a sporting event or two in his day...

These days, he's frequenting the tennis tournament in Flushing, New York.

He was being interviewed when one of the guys playing this week decided to drop by and make it a threesome...

Aleshin Crash Overshadows IndyCar Finale

((HT: IndyCar Series/IMS Radio Network))

This is flat out scary from Friday night's practice at the Fontana Speedway in the concluding race of the 2014 IndyCar season involving Mikhail Aleshin and the low groove.


Aleshin was listed in serious but stable condition with a with a concussion, fractured ribs, a broken right clavicle and chest injuries. Qualifying had been frozen at the time of the wreck and Aleshin, actually, had the 8th fastest time on the grid for the season finale.

Sadly, Fontana has had a lot of wrecks in the track's IndyCar history including racers like Will Power, AJ Allmendinger, Scott Dixon, Tony Kanaan, and Takuma Sato. Greg Moore passed during the 1999 race at Fontana from injuries he received in his crash.

This Will Stop A Race Cold

((HT: FoxSportsWorld/NASCAR))

The stock cars are at Watkins Glen going 355 miles before they're done...

But, this put a halt to the action on Lap 57


Thankfully, both Ryan Newman and Michael McDowell both got out of their cars after a little cleaning up, but the race and the track are still looking at over 30 laps to go when the red flag is pulled back from the tower...

As of 4:05 eastern, the drivers were called back to their cars...

Now Contador Is Out of Le Tour

((HT: NBCSN/TdF))

After defending champ Chris Froome crashed out of the Tour de France in Stage 5, it seemed that it was wide open as to who could take the yellow jersey.

Now, it's even more so as 2-time champ Alberto Contador has crashed out of Stage 10


Anyone...???
Anyone...???

Defending Champ Froome Crashes Out Of Tour

((HT: TdF/NBCSN))

Chris Froome should have just been called "Schleprock" for everything that went down in the last two stages of the Tour de France. He crashed in the sunshine in Stage 4 and crashed himself out of the race this year with two wrecks in Stage 5.

NBCSN recaps his quick tour of the Tour...


Today's Stage 5 was the first time in ten years or so that the race got the cobblestone streets in muddy conditions that resemble the Paris-Roubaix section from older times. Cobblestones are one thing, but the muddy, slippery cobbles are an entirely different animal entirely.

But to have it happen this early is huge...

The favorite for the remainder of the race is anyone's guess...
