In the first round Scott Wimmer takes the lead with a solid 9.6 for his flying barrel rolls and vault at the Daytona 500.

Unfortunately, he failed to stick the landing and has left the door open for 42 other competitors to take the overall lead with a better result in the spin and wall hit competition during the next round at California Speedway.

Yeah. Crawford really stuck the landing on his flip-and-run.

If the car breaks into pieces, then each chunk is scored separately. Wheels and hubs don't count, unless there is significant amounts of suspension and tube frame attached.

Anyone have a link to pix of that? It seems like NASCAR Gymnastics Cup is a weekend long event! :gomer:

I'd have to give him an extra 1.2 pts for that wonderful triple Lutz spin on his nose. :thumbup:
