    thats pretty awesome.. nice to see a real live astronaut got to drive the car...

    I do not believe any grown man or women grow out of their childhood dream to be an astronaut.

    my other childhood dream was to be a Firefighter.. I did that.. but that is way more attainable.. ha #nascar

    The only way it would have been cooler is if the chopper landed and then transformedinto the Camaro. #nascar

    @Racin_G73 - dirt track legend (some day ... maybe): But then, out of the dark recesses of my mind where I store obscure references to TV shows form my childhood, I recalled an even more awesome means of vertical-take-off air transport.

    As always, click for the full effect.Full transcript:[[Person hands coffee seller bill]] / [[Coffee seller hands person cup]] / [[Overhead view of person holding cup]]
    / Person: Yes, I was the guy killed by the falling Camaro. Some dude drove it out of a helicopter. There was supposed to be a parachute.
    / Person: But the best part is, as you look up and see that car speeding towards you, all emergency flashers flashing, dude with a wild smile, leaning on the horn, yelling "no brakes, no brakes!" -
    / Person: Your last thought gets to be "holy crap, that's awesome".

    After the Camaro emerged, a very confused joint DEA/Green Beret strike team piled out, zip tied a burlap sack over Montoya's head and, with the added range afforded by aerial refueling, remanded him to Gitmo. #nascar

    A whole day of football and the season finale of Mad Men and this is the most interesting thing? As far as the race, it is rather exciting to see Mark Martin retain a chance at the title. #nascar

    @jbownsabmw- Koopas Beware: Yeah, I was gonna mention that - as far as the most interesting thing to happen - Jimmie Johnson wrecking on lap 3 was probably the highlight. Not that I wish any harm to come to him. Just his points total. #nascar

    "most interesting thing to happen all day."

    I was hoping they'd cut away from the race and show the entirety of JJ's crew frantically rebuilding his car. A rare opportunity for a NASCAR race to be non-boring, now lost forever. #nascar

    @powermatic: That definitely would have been watchable! Sadly, I resolved last week to not watch any more Cup racing this season. So I hadn't setup the DVR. I only saw the accident on video clips from the netweb. #nascar

    @Racin_G73 - dirt track legend (some day ... maybe): Same here. While it'll be neat if he does become the first to win four in a row, it would be even neater to see it go down to the last race...and neater still to see Mark get it at age 50 and thereby avoid becoming NASCAR's Stirling Moss. #nascar
