Did AFLAC cover her bills, Carl?

Someone should have told her to DUCK!

How ironic would that be if she caught a piece of fender again on Sunday?

Not near as cool as seeing Carl take that wild ride again.

Carl, you the man. Maybe you can get her to take you out to eat with that big ole paycheck she probably got after that happened.

NASCAR and Talladega Superspeedway are not responsible for any fan that gets pasted with a fender. It say so right on the ticket. This chick didn't get squat.

at least Carl has the deceny to talk to her.... most of these arrogant idiots would be like "sorry about your luck"..... i'll give Eddie Haskell that......

eddie haskell - lol
She probably got a little fame out of the deal, and she her jaw is now good enough to pound 3 Big Macs at lunch.

I take back my last comment - she isnt the 300 lb woman that ALWAYS sits in front of me.

Terry Bobbitt owns the Minnow Bucket convenience store in Rogersville. He works long hours and does not get many days off. He saw Sunday as the perfect opportunity to take a break, have a good time and escort his teenage daughter to Talladega.

"It was her first trip," says Bobbitt.

Bobbitt and his daughter, Blake, landed seats on the second row. It was an exciting race. However, as it neared the end, the fun came to a crashing halt.

"Basically, it was headed to us," says Bobbitt.

Carl Edwards' race car flipped into another car and slammed into the metal safety fence - only a few feet from stunned and scared spectators. Metal debris flew everywhere. Terry and Blake took cover, but it wasn't quick enough.

"When it actually happened, I turned and I pointed to her to make sure she saw the car that was coming in the air," says Bobbitt. "All in that same motion, I grabbed her and it took her down. I didn't know she'd been hit at all until we got up."

A piece of metal broke Blake's jaw. Emergency responders rushed her to UAB Hospital. Doctors performed reconstructive surgery and had to insert two plates into her jaw. As a result, her mouth will be wired shut for the next six weeks.

Blake Bobbitt attends Lauderdale County High School. Her 18th birthday and graduation are both within the next month. Her parents say it's bad timing, but still a big blessing. Terry says it's a miracle that Blake wasn't hurt worse

pound 3 Big Macs at lunch. ?
Jackman, where did that come from? LOL

I don't think that would qualify as irony.

I have a feeling she will be sitting on top of Carl's pit box on sunday.

cool
