I know Im probably the only Nascar fan here. That's okay. I like having this little bit of Nascar history here just for me. Anyway, this crash is of note. This was a Qualifying run for a rookie driver who was qualifying for his 2nd race. Normally qualifying is pretty tame. Sometimes even boring. But this was perhaps the biggest impact of a crash Ive seen in years. I believe if this crash would have happened 7 or 8 years ago, he would have been dead before the car stopped. Head on collisions with the wall are the type that kill you. Its how Earnhardt died. Anyway, the man walked away with this with just a limp and will race this Sunday. This is a testiment to how safe these cars have become.
