Not Ranked
NASCAR is now requiring the drivers to use that neck/head brace thing, forget what they call it. Some drivers don't like it because it is so restrictive they can't turn their head to "see" well enough.
There have been some of the most horrific accidents in NASCAR. Richard Petty comes to mind, rolling his car SO violently there was virtually nothing left but the roll cage and his seat, and he walks away. Dale E. has what appears to be a relatively minor hit on the wall and dies.
Marks girl friend being thrown from the car is NOT a "good" thing, yet in this case it WAS. Marks roll bar was intact, his belts were on tight, he had those fundamentals correct. Sometimes accidents just defy "logic".
So sad, Ernie
