Elliott Sadler (thank heavens) was OK after he rode his NASCAR Sprint Cup car straight into the backstretch wall Sunday afternoon at Pocono International Raceway in the middle of the Pennsylvania 500, which was eventually won by Greg Biffle, with Tony Stewart second and Carl Edwards third.
The wreck that collected Sadler was triggered by Jimmie Johnson, who tapped Kurt Busch just enough to send him spinning out of control going toward turn 3 of the Pocono tri-oval, which Busch was kind enough to enunciate for all of us imbeciles who obviously didn’t realize that he’d been in a car accident and that’s why he’d been taken to the hospital.
Of course, TV announcers don’t help much with guys like Busch when they ask inane questions like, "What happened?"
"Got wrecked," said Busch. (No kidding.)
TV announcer: "Where?"
Busch: "Back straightaway." (Oh, please. Get off your high horse.)
TV announcer: "How?"
Busch: "Jimmie Johnson drove right over us." (Thank you for stating the obvious.)
TV announcer: Thanks.
Now, I saw this. Abut 20 times, in fact. Replay after replay showed Johnson hitting Busch and starting the crackup of the week. I know this.
