I thought those guys would take it easy. Far from it! Bowyer was absolutely committed. That was fun to watch. Bet there are safer barriers next year.....

That was about as smart as sticking the boat next to the whoop section

Zero front-braking going on there by Bowyer-----the Professor is disappoint, son. Grinning
Not sure why anyone would risk their paying career by participating in a side-show event that only benefits the sanctioning bodies... Dry

That's the first time me and my girl have cried laughing watching Supercross. Clint is fucking committed. That was the greatest thing I've ever seen

I heard Clint talking about this during the NXS race earlier in the day, I thought there was NFW that they would actually be taking a live start! Was really confused when I saw Ty Dillon in a jersey...

That was the highlight of the night for me. Gotta respect the pin it to win it philosophy, and the showboating after the crash.

I'm sure we'll never see Nascar guys riding dirtbikes at a SX again! At the very least the finish line needed to be back about 10-20 yards.

Clint is 36 years old.
Takes a little longer to heal a broken bone at that age.
BTW... the guy that came in 2nd, Greg Biffle is 46.

Yeh, that would go well. Probably had 4 ended careers after the first triple. You can tell little kids on 50s 'no doubles' but racers on 250s?

That was some quality knee shifting!

Great personality. We need the sx'ers to know how to work the crowd and mic like that.

All the way to the ground.

Quote of the night was from Jimmie Johnson. Someone in the infield asked him why he didn't ride. He pointed at where Clint had wadded and said, "Because of that."

I'm usually the first guy to shit on nascar because the racing blows, but the drivers seem to be really good guys. Bowyer gets great life out of front brake pads, is what I'm saying lol.

That race was awesome! I'd love to see the look on his team owner's face watching that. Hopefully they do it again but with maybe a net or several dozen tuff blocks

He got so lucky. If that tuff block wasnt there he would have been a freekin dead man.

I was still laughing when Boyer was explaining the deal "my 450 has more power so I started in first got a bad jump .... " or something like that ... spoken like a true racer. You get the feeling he'll be perfect in the 14 next year. Oh and Tony's twit shortly after was spot on hilarious.

I wondered how entertaining it was going to be and it exceeded all expectations. I'll bet Clint is mobbed with comments at the track today. It would be great if his sponsors and Neckcar allow him in driver intro's to wear his gear from last night ....
