    Shouldn't they count twice if you are the cause of them all?
    I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.

    and all the people keep saying Harvick is the most dangerous driver out there, only being in 5 accidents.

    I guess JJ kept on crashing cause he kept seeing that crazy blonde shouting his name :
    Brian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

    It's no surprise to me that Yeley tops the list. On the other hand that's good news and job security for the JGR fab shop.

    Doesn't quite tell the story without knowing crasher or crashee ;-)
    Who would have thought Robby Gordon wasn't in the top 35!

    I honestly was surprised to see that Kasey was the lowest with Harvick because of all the crashes he was in last year.
