    Cone perishes during Kasey Kahne’s practice spin

    By Nick Bromberg | From The Marbles – Wed, Feb 22, 2012 10:17 PM EST

    The Daytona 500 is four days away and we've already had our first gruesome incident involving cone, as cone was violently run over when Kasey Kahne spun off the bumper of Juan Pablo Montoya.

    The incident meant a backup car for Kahne in Thursday's Gatorade Duels, and, unfortunately, a backup cone too. Kahne even apologized to cone via Twitter after the crash.

    Our best wishes go out to the cone family on this tragic accident. And Godspeed to you, replacement cone. What exceptional courage to step in after such a tragedy. Though being at the pit road entrance may require less courage than this.

      Meanwhile we don't hear about the deaths of hundreds of cone's relatives at construction sites around the country. Too much focus on celeberties.

      Hey Bromberg. I didn't perish. Checked and released by Dr. Claire Nowicki at Daytona Memorial. Will be on pit road again tomorrow.

      If it died, putting that picture up from now on will be considered necrophilia...

      Definitely the ugliest looking car Kahne has ever driven. That's what you get when you sell your soul to the devil....I mean convicted felon...I mean Hendrick.

        Didn't know racing was about how pretty the cars are. Interesting.

        @Patty - In today's sponsor-driven NASCAR, paint schemes are pretty important. Gotta have a good looking car to help sell the sponsor - this also helps sell more die-casts which equals even more $$$ for the teams and drivers. Did you even consider any of that before spewing like a douche?

        Must not be a Twitter fan. Otherwise he'd appreciate the humor in this article. And seriously, did you think Cone was a real person when you read the headline?

      William Shatner must have been a cone fan. He was watching practice and suddenly shouted "Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!!!"

      Is this article about cone? Or about the harmless little spinout Kasey Lame did? Either way, what a waste of internet space.

      Figured it would be David Cone. Oh well, it's not like the fool doesn't deserve it.
