    Bad wreck at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

    What I can't understand is the Toyota was 3/4 of the way along side of the GT car on the INSIDE of the corner. How the [censored] could the GT driver miss the Toyota that far along side of him when he should have been looking that way around the corner anyways! Regardless, it is the slower car's...

    hendrick oil and stewart haas oil
