Aftermath, Darlington: Was It OK For Fans To Cheer Jimmie Johnson’s Wreck?

The biggest cheers on Saturday night at Darlington came not for a thrilling pass or race-winning move, but for a violent wreck that left Jimmie Johnson’s car demolished.

Before Johnson was even out of the car, tens of thousands of fans were on their feet yelling and screaming and expressing their overall happiness that the four-time defending champion had crashed out of the Showtime Southern 500.
