Top 5 Worst Crashes of the Week - Week #1

Hey guys, it's Ben here. Usually, Tom writes in LASTCAR ISRA blog, but I'll be doing the Top 5 Worst Crashes weekly every sunday. This weekend consistented of:
F5 @ Cleveland
Modifieds @ Salem
Trucks @ Flemington
Rally @ Mirage II & Mirage GP
Cup Testing Day

So, without further ado, here is Week 1 of the worst crashes.

5) Colin Stiles @ Flemington

Midway through the truck event, Colin Stiles got together with another truck, and soon enough, he found himself upside-down in the fourth turn of this tricky track. Colin managed to drive away from the incident, only to fall out later on in the race, finishing 9th.

4) The Big One @ Salem

In the closing laps of this caution-filled Salem race, a chain reaction incident was triggered up towards the front of the field, and several cars were collected, including Brandon Lareau, Jacob Eichholtz and Tom Delgado. Unfortunately, this would see them three mentioned out of the race, and several other drivers ended the race a lap down due to the massive mess.

3) Jacob Eichholtz @ Charlotte (Cup Testing)

Another chain reaction crash occurred in this crash, but Eichholtz took top honors in this crash, as his car managed to actually go up into the air and upside-down out of turn 2. This crash also had Joe Branch goes upside-down, but not in such a spectacular fashion as Eichholtz. Ben Atkins and Zach Duff also were involved in this lap 2 incident.

2) Ben Atkins + Matt Brinson @ Flemington

A very early crash in the Flamboro race in the truck series seen a spectacular tumble for both Brinson and Atkins, when they "warped" together and were both seen flipping, with Atkins managing to do cartwheels. ON A SHORT TRACK. Despite this whole mess, Atkins managed to drive away with minor damage, and finish the race in 4th. Brinson unfortunately caused the next incident as well, and was forced to park his car.

1) The Big One @ Mirage

A rare pile-up in the rallycross series seen several cars go flipping on the first lap of the first race in the rallycross weekend. Since the damage was on moderate, though, most cars were somehow able to drive their cars away. I'd like to see them do that in real life. Zach Duff was the only car to go out of the race, after he was hit from behind by Ben Atkins, and was sent flipping down the track.

So there was the first top 5 crashes of this weekend, expect to hear more from me every weekend!
