Two bizarre finishes in car races today.

Today just wasn't a good day to be leading a race on the final turn. Earlier today J.R Hildebrand crashed into the wall on the final turn of the Indianapolis 500. Later in the day Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran out of fuel on the final turn of Coca Cola 600. What are the odds of both of these events happening on the exact same day?

Hats off to the race officials though for not brining out the yellow flag on that crash during the second to last lap. It was cleared in time the lead pack came around for the final lap.

Both cars are sponsored by the National Guard. How's that for a Memorial Day tie in?

It was bizarre to see both races in somewhat similar fashion.
