Real quick way to determine if someone has a concussion: look at their eyes, if the pupils are blown out you’re going to the ER. It’s basic first aid. Obviously you can have a concussion and not have blown out pupils, like I had earlier this year, but if Greg’s pupils were blown out then he definitely had a concussion and EMS shouldn’t have had him sign off as an AMA.
Any driver that's in a wreck should have to be treated for injuries. It's that way now. But used to be It was optional. As for Kyle Busch, he and Kurt both were well known as good guys on the track (See Scott Pruett's Atlanta IROC crash in 05). Kurt was to his car almost before it stops rolling
I remember jeff gordon saying at one test that it was good biffle was there because he would drive drive with his hands and feet on the wheel getting the most out of the tires
There's something missing from this story that would put some of the dispute to rest... If you notice, there's not a first hand recollection from Kyle's POV... I'm personally not sure if he's ever talked about this incident to the media
Tony Stewart's pre-race interview in 2007 slamming SMI for knowing "more about track design and race cars than the series does" was the stuff of legends
After that Darlington race, I'm sure Harvick would disagree. Pushing his car out of the way after Kevin exited the car. Sure it's far from Stewart murdering someone on track, but pretty reckless I'd say.
@@travisburton2948 should go back and rewatch that. And for your sake...re-watch it again. Harvick's car wasn't parked and was rolling down pit road before Kyle event touched it
I could've sworn there was a similar incident in early 2009 where something similar happened to Biffle again resulting in Biffle enduring sore ribs. Since this was the year of the new drug testing policy, Biffle was hesitant to take any pain meds, fearing they'd violate the new policy & he'd be suspended.
It's a legal fact that you can't be forced to accept medical treatment, so if Greg *did* refuse transport, the EMTs had no options. It's not that unusual for those who've had head injuries to not realize quite how bad it is at the time, so that happens more often than you'd think. Personal example: A few years back, I managed to fall and faceplant on a curb, causing a blowout fracture of my orbital floor. (Basically, the eye compressed into its socket to the point that the thinnest part of the bone--the bottom--burst to relieve the pressure.) I knew I'd had my bell rung, but I was pretty convinced I was going to be good to go at the scene, and talked the cop who had seen it into not calling an ambulance. On the drive home, I started noticing some double vision and difficulty focusing on the road, but figured that it would go away with rest. I didn't realize quite how bad I was hurt until I got home and saw in the mirror that my entire mustache was now red with blood from my nose. Even then, I figured I didn't need treatment, and didn't realize I needed to get to the ER until an hour later, when I started having cold sweats and vomiting. (Irony: After multiple CT scans, the ER docs determined that I "didn't" have a concussion... never mind that I had dizziness and nausea for the next couple of days, and that I know for a fact that I was out like a light for a few seconds after impact...) It's entirely possible that *both* stories are accurate; Greg might have been so out of it after the crash that not only did he not realize he needed medical attention, but he didn't remember any of it afterwards.
Ah,.....we men can play very fast and loose with our health sometimes. Also, daaammn, thats a hell of an injury. Didn't really know that could happen but I guess some of the smaller facial bones are pretty thin. Hope you recovered well.
@@extragoogleaccount6061 Full recovery, no trouble. Didn't even need the surgical repair that we were preparing for; the only lasting effect is that I now have a barometer in my face and thus get a nasty sinus headache on that side when a strong storm system is approaching. Considering I went nearly 45 years before breaking my first bone, I feel I was fairly lucky.
Paramedics are usually great guys & girls and seemingly always ready to help. Since we wasn't there, we have no idea what happened after this accident. It's easy to criticize in retrospect.
The track/sanctioning body having a different tale than the driver who suffered a brain injury is sadly nothing new. Literally a couple months prior was the infamous 2006 fall Busch event at Richmond where Kevin Grubb suffered a concussion & wasn't properly treated at the track. In fact NASCAR tried to force a drug test on him & made up that he refused to take one. At least Biffle didn't having the tragic ending Grubb did; Especially with what we know now about NASCAR's management of injuries & their drug testing policy back then.
Las Vegas is good track. But even with that,losing Dan Wheldon is sad story. Wheldon was gonna replace Danica Patrick at Andretti Motorsports. If he did,he could've won some races. He would probably race until 2020.
NFJJ routinely brings us forgotten moments in NASCAR's history and I thank them for it.

They don’t just test the compounds, but they are also testing the camber and air pressures, since they will have a ton of affect on the tires
Id like to see a story about dale Jr's tire test crash that scrambled his brain
You can learn more about it in his book Racing to the Finish
Yes you can force it’s called implied consent, usually it’s for someone unconscious however in most states you can
They reconfigured the track after having a photo finish. Smart. I think their idea of 'exciting races' means crashing constantly. Shame.
G-W-C =gotta wreck cars

Another thing to add - Both Cup and Xfinity races were crash-fests that year. I guess they got what they wanted.
@@X2Lazy2WinXBusch Series 2007 pre race for anyone interested. Just search up “Tony Stewart slams Chris Powell.”
Brian France almost singlehandedly destroyed the sport with his horrible decisions.
Old Vegas had stayed track probably would have aged into 2013 Fontana, and Dan Wheldon probably is still alive!
I’d really like to see you do a video on Jeff Krough’s crash at Milwaukee in 1999.
Another reason why Kyle is one of my favorites. This should tell you everything you need to know about him as a person.

1:19 Dale Jr off that Percocet loving the new track.

I thought Greg Biffle was a top-tier driver for Jack Roush since he came up from the craftsman truck series

I love your videos!
Get some sound deadening for your recording space ❤
You should do a video on the NASCAR race that got you to become a fan of the sport? 😊
We need to hear Kyle’s side of the story about this so we know who’s at fault, biffle or the medical staff

If he suffered a head injury it's likely he didn't understand what they were asking him.
