Wow, Smoke lost his sh!t big time! I don't think JL did anything wrong trying to block him(like he hasn't done the same). The last 8 laps was just good old fashioned racing. Fun ending to watch for sure! Pretty smart for #18 to sit back and anticipate that, even thou I almost puked!
FONTANA, Calif. -- Denny Hamlin has been diagnosed with a compression fracture in his lower back following a crash on the last lap of Sunday's........
That's too bad.
i knew something was up, there was no info last night and he basically fell to the ground when he got out of the car. i wonder how long he will be out
Huh, its unusual for the impact he suffered from that he ended up with a compression fracture. I hope there are not an underlying problems that caused this.

I could see that impact causing that injury. You would be surprised how hard you get pushed down into the seat when having a HANS/Seat belts on and taking that hard of a hit. My guess would be that injury was a reaction to the initial hit.
I am just guessing with my experience with the wrecks i have had in my race car. In my car i wear the standard 5 point harness with a HANS. I dont however have a full containment seat.
My guess is he will be out 4-6 weeks at min.
Ahh, that makes sense. I didn't realize there was that much downward pressure on the driver.
I see two places where Smoke screwed up.
1. He should have turned JL......thats what JL would have done, because you know it "was the end of the race."
or
2. Hit the big crew member first to get him out of the picture, then throw JL down and spank him like the little kid he is.

I think it is extremely funny how Tony can block and block and block and it is racing. He has even blocked so much it caused the other guy to wreck. But yet when he gets blocked, and doesn't even wreck or leave the track mind you he cries like a little girl. He's the little crybaby if you ask me.

Remember Talledega last year? Smoke wrecked like half the field on the final lap attempting to block.
As far as Hamlin i was indeed referring to the car slamming back down on all four wheels after hitting the wall as to when he got hurt, but even he probably doesnt know for sure.
