See Kevin LaPage in the race runs above the line coming out of the pits and get collected by the field. Huge accident on his stupidity he should be banned for some races. He is supposed to be a pro?

I heard that his spotter (also his wife) warned him that the field was ready to pass.

Let's see, he's doing about 80 and the pack is getting ready to blow by him at 180?

That move was so stupid it almost looked intentional... (I said "almost.")

He said the wreck wasn't his fault. They should have seen him and gone around him ( I would post the if he didn't cause literally millions in damage with his boneheaded move onto the race track )

i see near misses like this every day. it's called highway merging.

BTW, he retracted his innocence and has accepted 100% responsibility. does that mean he's going to pay for everyone's damages?
