Wreck Week: Remember Carl Long flipping at Rockingham?

In 2009, Carl Long became the poster boy for how tough it can be for small NASCAR teams to make it. That May, the engine for Long's car was found to have a displacement 0.17 cubic inches greater than the maximum allowed displacement.

That violation carried a penalty of 200 points and a much more crippling $200,000 fine. Since then, Long hasn't attempted a Sprint Cup race.

But let's venture back to happier times for Long, shall we? Below is a clip from the 2004 race at Rockingham, where Long got together with Joe Nemecheck and slid down the backstretch on his side.

(OK, so flipping and crashing a car isn't a moment for celebration, but given the severity and results of the penalty, it seems downright joyful)
