MEXICO CITY (AP) — Driver Carlos Pardo has been killed in a crash during the final laps of a NASCAR Mexico race, organizers said. Pardo was leading the race in the 97th lap when his car was nudged by a competitor from behind and slid sideways into a wall at the entrance to the pit lane at about 120 mph on Sunday. The car disintegrated as a result of the impact. Pardo was removed from the wreckage and sent by helicopter to a hospital. The NASCAR Mexico Web site reported that he died 45 minutes later. Pardo was later declared winner of the race in Pueblo, east of Mexico City. He won the series championship in 2004 and had 10 career victories in 74 races.

My god that was nasty.

What a place to bump him!

I don't watch a lot of Nascar but I caught the story on 60 the other week and Ambrose mentioned that giving cars taps like that is legal.

What a joke.

What a massive hit. The car disintegrates into nothing! Safety standards in Mexico Nascar lagging behind the US, till today I would suggest!

RIP Carlos!

Dangerous track design.


A fatality waiting to happen again if they do not change it.

That is frightning, they all know the rule's and that tap happen's all the time in the sport, they all do it.
I wonder how the other driver is feeling.
But not something anyone want's to see.

that seems the case to me




i am not sure that he got tapped as such. it looks to me like he moved over a little. either way you have to wonder why there is a wall on that angle there
