Nascar best saves

[booyah]

In NASCAR there are many crashes but sometimes there are drivers who prevent a crash. Here are two saves that standout to me are no.2[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXn6H3qJr90&feature=related]Jimmie Johnson Amazing Save 2006 Dover - YouTube[/ame]
and NUMBER 1 Is [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7MR2dqeoPI]HD NASCAR 2009 - Las Vegas - Jamie McMurray Amazing Drifting Save - YouTube[/ame]
Submit more saves you think are awesome. (y)(y)

Thanks for putting McMurray down as #1. He has some awesome saves.

I particularly liked the one with Charmichael at Talladega. I believe it was last year (2010). He got completely sideways in the middle of the tri-oval, three wide and didn't make any contact. It was insane.

Don't forget Jeff Gordon's save earlier this year Daytona in July.

That was the first truck race I watched last year and I only caught the last 50 or so laps. I remember thinking, "are all truck races like this" lol.

While that was good, Brad Keselowski did the same exact thing at Dover in 2010, only with just a few inches to spare.

Not exactly, the 48 was in a Cup car while Qualifing. Brad wasnt pushing near as hard and had less horespower.

Aj's save was very good this year drivers could be D1 drivers

Funny and a good save by Brian Vickers

What about Newman at the Spring race at Talladega this year? He did good.

^Here's an overhead of that wreck, just to show how close he was to being caught in that pileup.

 

[K.Chuck]

Not NASCAR but as close as you can get and hes a NASCAR driver now. Not really much of a save but its to good not to share, so just watch the tire save itself.

Michael McDowell - Texa..........oh.


But seriously, in recent memory this one springs to mind - he played it well, grabbed the right lock as it was arrowing straight to the fence!! Epic sound bytes too!

Anything from this year's Aaron's 499. Newman saved it twice, Blaney had a great save, and IIRC Hamlin had a pretty good one too. Robby Gordon during the Daytona 500 was also pretty impressive.

And this is why Bobby Labonte is a Cup champion.
