2024 Corey LaJoie flip @ Michigan

WE'LL HEAR FROM HIM. >> REDDICK LOOKING FOR THE INSIDE OF DILLON IN THE 4 POSITION AND GIBBS STILL CHASING AFTER BYRON UP FRONT HERE IN MICHIGAN. (♪♪) ...we're testing ourselves. (♪♪) Because what we learn here helps push us forward out there. From the track to the street, Chevy's got you. Chevrolet. Together let's drive. >>> COREY LaJOIE. GREAT SIGN THERE WHEN YOU SEE THE WINDOW COME DOWN. WHAT A WILD RIDE COREY LaJOIE JUST HAD. >> WENT FOREVER AND THEN THE GRASS GOT HIM TUMBLING AGAIN. YOU SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE ROOF OF THE RACE CAR. I HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, AND I SAW. HE WAS IN THE AIR. >> THE SAFETY CREW WENT IMMEDIATELY TO COREY AS HE CLIMBS OUT OF THAT RACE CAR. REMEMBER, THESE CARS ARE OVER 3,000 POUNDS. TAKE A LOOK AT HOW HE GETS UPSIDE DOWN. >> A LITTLE BIT OF CONTACT WITH THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER, THE CAR TURNED SIDEWAYS AND JUST FLIPPED IN THE AIR. QUITE HONESTLY, THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE'S NO WAY WHEN A CAR TURNS LIKE THAT IT SHOULD GET UP IN THE AIR THAT EASILY. THERE'S BEEN 34I8IONS OF DOLLARS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF TIME TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. THAT'S GOING TO CATCHER ABOUT BY SURPRISE. >> YOU SEE RIGHT THERE THE SLIDE. THAT GIVES YOU A GREAT VIEW OF THE WHOLE UNDERBODY WE TALKED ABOUT, THE UNDER WING, EVERYTHING. PEOPLE TALK ABOUT DAMAGE. HERE IT CATCHES THE GRASS AND A COUPLE OF PRETTY VIOLENT TUMBLES. YOU SAID IT, RICK. 3,000 POUNDS. IT LOOKS LIKE A MATCHBOX. THIS WAS THE LAP BEFORE, AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE DRIVERS ARE UPSET AT EACH OTHER, BUT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT HERE, I JUST FEEL LIKE HE'S JUST TURNING, RIGHT? I CAN'T TELL FROM THIS SHOT IF HE COMES DOWN OR MICHIGAN, AND NOW WE'VE HAD A CAR GO UPSIDE DOWN. THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONTACT. WE FREEZE IT RIGHT HERE. HOOD FLAPS ARE UP, BOTH UP RIGHT HERE, WHICH NORMALLY SETS THE CAR RIGHT PACK DOWN. NOT FOR THE 7 OF LaJOIE. INSTANTLY IN THE AIR. FLIPPING HIM ON HIS ROOF, A BIG SLIDE ONTO THE GRASS. WE HAVEN'T SEEN A CAR FLIP LIKE THAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. >> IT'S PRETTY CONCERNING. NORMALLY WHEN WE SEE A CAR FLIP, IT AFFECTS OTHER CARS. IN THIS CASE, I KNOW THEY MADE CONTACT, BUT, REALLY, AS FAR AS IT FLIPPING, IT'S A SINGLE-CAR EFFECT. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY FIGURES AND HOW THEY SHOULD WORK. I CIRCLED THEM IN THE REPLAY. THE HOOD FLAPS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOHSE THE PRESSURE. THE RIGHT ROOF FLAP, WHEN IT OPENS, IT'S CONNECTED TO A FLAP AS WELL DOWN IN THE DIFFUSER FOR THE UNDERBODY. WITH THIS BACKWARD, THIS DIFFUSER FLAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. THE GOAL IS TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE RACETRACK. BUT IN THIS 7 SITUATION, OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY LOOKED AT BECAUSE THAT ISN'T WHAT HAPPENED. AS WE LOOK, WHEN THE CAR SPINS AROUND, IT'S THE PRESSURE UNDER THE HOOD THAT OPENS THE HOOD FLAPS. IT'S THE AIR SPEED GOING OVER THE ROOF THAT OPENS THE ROOF FLAPS. THERE YOU SEE THE RED GLOW. ALL OF THAT SHOULD BE A HIGHER PRESSURE AURA ON THE ROOF, KEEPING THE CAR ON THE RACETRACK. OBVIOUS WILL I NOT THE CASE FOR THE 7. JEFF, THIS WILL GET NASCAR'S ATTENTION MORE THAN PERHAPS ANYTHING. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND WORK DONE AFTER THIS ACCIDENT. >> THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH TIME SPENT, ALL OF THIS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. BUT, OBVIOUSLY, MORE WORK TO DO. >> ALL RIGHT. THIS IS RIDING ALONG WITH COREY. >> NO THANKS. >> THE ONE THING THAT'S VERY SUCCESSFUL ABOUT THIS, IF YOU LOOK AT TH
