    Check out this crash that happen today at Texas Motor Speedway, during the Samsung 500 Qualifying. McDowell walked away and is ok. They had to stop the qualifying for over a hour to fix the softer barrier wall.

    It was way worse that earnharts wreck....Sr. Died because he was not wearing the hans device I think with the new car, the safer barrier, the hans it is what saved his life.

    I feel the same way, that wall adsorbed a lot of the impact, and without that wall, things would of been much worse.

    This wreck shows how the safety precautions are working.

    Wow...

    That reminded me of Kesolowski's last fall at California in the Busch race.

    Definately right....He just refused to wear it....The hans device has increased NASCAR safety tenfold....
