NASCAR Talladega bug

Having fallen victim to the Indycar "drive through the wall" and
"transport" bugs many times, I think I found a similar bug in
NASCAR.  I had moved into the lead coming out of turn 4 at Talladega
and was then coming out of turn 2.  The car suddenly broke loose
and went into the infield.  A tire hadn't blown, ie. no message, and
no competitor was close.  When I spun, it was a jerky, bouncing
motion.  I collected several others with me.

The replay showed right before I broke loose there was a frame
where I was facing backwards down the pit exit - I had temporarily
transported to the opposite side of the track.

One neat thing I learned was that when you strip away an
opponent's sheet metal in a crash, you can see in the engine
and frame members - SVGA.
