Have watched that thing in super slow-mo and pause on my DVR frame-by-frame and for some reason I think the car may have blown the right front tire. The front end starts to pull slightly to the right (they called it wash out) and right as the body starts to bend in the middle, you can see sparks right in the area of what appears to be the front tire. It was only about 2.5 frames where it was visible on screen.

Did you see Matt Smith's new Victory motorcycle suck a shop rag through the engine? Hard to believe it didn't stall the bike out.

Watching the finals now..........some unexpected upsets today.......
