Nascar dodged a bullet with Bowman finishing that race, just after having a concussion. If he had gotten into another accident just hours after his concussion, Second Impact Syndrome could've literally killed him
didn't you hear bowman say "i can't finish the race" then they kept him in the car anyway?
I was just going to add that. Secondary Concussion Syndrome, or SIS, is no joke. Another intense impact in quick succession can make you DRT right quick.
@@aaronelijahcolyer I thought he said he couldn't believe the car finished the race...I could be wrong obviously
@@eoincassin4265 he hadn't finished the race yet... he said I can't finish the race and the in car camera showed him squinting and rubbing his eyes before he put the visor back down
He hit the wall then radioed his team and said I can't finish the race that's the hardest hit I've ever felt...then his crew radioed back for him to bring the car to pit road so they could look at the car.they may of misunderstood him and assumed he was talking about the car when he said I can't finish the race because he thought the car was to damaged to continue
what concerned me the most was that bowman said he couldn't finish the race and they kept him in the car anyway... NASCAR needs to update its concussion protocols
Asscar: I'm afraid not. You will get a penalty for saying something.
In the military, we didnt know much about head injuries but the uptick in IED blast injuries kicked off huge studies in TBIs (Traumatic Brain Injury) and as a medic, we started MACE testing (Military Acute Concussion Evaluation). Maybe spotters need to grab a mace card and ask the questions or some modified version of it.
Thank you for your service.
I wonder why NASCAR hasn't already done that. The military has always been out front in trauma medicine.
My wife and I are huge Bowman fans, so disappointed for him, and hoping that he recovers quickly. Big props for speaking up and saying that he wasn’t ok. Changing the culture takes these types of moments where people speak up and say there’s something wrong and do not put their long term health in jeopardy by continuing to compete with a brain injury.
Thank God we had/have real men and women who sacrifice their health going to work every day so we have food, power, housing and freedom. If this country was full of Bowmans we would be speaking German.
@@jwil5389 apparently you have never had a concussion I have there nothing to play with I had 3 in my live and you are different after that think God he said something
@@jwil5389 you are definitely the one who calls in sick for days in a row because of a cough. Your coworkers are the real heroes for picking up the slack that you create. By all means, talk down about others, lil fella.
@@jamessechrist7702 I have had at least 5 for sure and probably several more that went unnoticed. Perfectly fine now and didn't miss a game. The biggest difference between now and then is that a few pill popping and steroid abusing athletes had mental issues caused from combing the above. You can't sue the NFL for hundreds of millions for that. What do you do? Go on a market campaign about concussions. Make a blockbuster movie with a global superstar all about how evil the NFL is and how concussions made these guys kill or kill themselves. These athletes know the risk. Just like a pilot, electrician, mountain climber, etc.
@@justlucky8254 Haha, good one! How long did it take you to come up with that? I bet a "your mother" joke is next.
I’ve had my share of concussions, and a way I know is I cannot do math. I can repeat muscle memory and past knowledge, but not new. Maybe ask the driver: “We’re on lap 65 of 75, how many laps are left in this stage?” If they can’t answer, get ‘em out of the car. Concussions mess with your thinking process.
Only one issue with the question about the stage thing. It's the spotters who usually keep lap count. Most drivers are so focused on driving, they block everything else out. Speaking from experience by driving a go kart. As a driver, you just get tunnel visioned on driving and block everything else out. Especially lap count. That's why crew chiefs and spotters take on the strategy calculations
That's honestly not a bad idea. I mean, after enough of a wreck for the spotter to be concerned about a potential discussion, well the driver is gonna be knocked out of their tunnel vision. Getting the 'right answer' isn't the point of this sort of question anyway, it's more about hearing how they respond. With as much as a driver & spotter communicate, a spotter is probably going to have about as much an understanding of their driver's speech & mannerisms as anyone, especially for a super basic question like that. Honestly, I wouldn't even factor in whether the answer was right or wrong, the question is just setting the table so to speak for what should be a pretty predictable response. If they sound 'off' or whatever, then, well...
My worry would be that after his concussion that the high forces of going around the track might have made it worse.
As a retired fighter. I have had my fair share of concussions.... luckily for me, all of my concussions seemed to have a quick recovery and no effects during recovery. so I feel for the guys that feel bad while recovering.
I have had way more than 3. One put me in the hospital.... may thats my problem now. I can barely remember anything new. all my old memories are still there. but if i dont write it down, i will forget.
Yes me too.... maybe hundreds over decades....
After 40 (over the hill)
some memories 😜 it's a blessing forgetting but some like yesterday's actions or progress, I may forget a few things from that day
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !
Same way and at 56 I shouldn't have to be righting stuff down to remember but ask me something 20 years ago and I'm right with you there wasn't as many studies on the brain as they are now I don't think they knew when I was younger I had a coil spring fly out from under a car hit me so hard it knocked the blood out of my mouth doc ask did it knock you out I said no he said your fine
I still require medication from a concussion I suffered in 2003.
damn sorry to hear that
Biggest story of the whole episode is the last comment by Mr. Kraft. Looking at it from the aspect of how it affects one person or the whole field of racers. Concussions are individual based and doesn't affect anybody but themselves medically speaking. The whole field has a steering rack. We just had a rash of tire issues that caused some major problems and upsets in the playoff chase. I would imagine that a steering issue can only be as bad
"Indeed, the last seven weeks have been dismal for LaJoie and Co., who have finished 34th or worse in five of the last seven races. The team’s Achilles’ heel has been mechanical reliability, most recently in the last two road-course events. At Sonoma, LaJoie’s car suffered from a steering fitting failure. Last week at Road America, a T-bar in the steering rack broke before the green flag waved." per NASCAR back in July. Id say the issue is well known.
Talking about ease of driving at Talledega. I remember Tony Stewart in the late 2000s saying over the radio while they were all running single file for 20+ laps, "I'm going to fall asleep out here."
Ok, at the end when talking about the Corey LaJoie wreck, that caught my attention. A "major malfunction" you "turn the wheel and the wheels don't turn"? Did his steering break? They have been having power steering issues with this new car. Crappy ass parts? Why aren't we hearing about this?
I think that's exactly what happened. I was watching an episode of NASCAR America Motormouths with Nate Ryan, Kyle Petty, and Dale Jarrett and they were talking about whether the Roval would produce steering issues. Considering the test at the Roval last year was the first place the steering issues appeared. Kyle Petty said "Absolutely. After the steering issues we saw at Bristol, the issues at the Roval test last year, and I even heard that a driver had steering issues at Talladega..." and everyone just kind of looked at him but didn't say anything.
Sounds like all the insiders know but it hasn't made its way out to the standard media so everyone his keeping it hush-hush. But that doesn't necessarily mean it was the car's fault. Spire Motorsports in tiny. I don't know if you've watched any of the Race for the Championship show. But the first episode covered Corey and Spire, and there's points where Corey is in the shop pouring his own seat insert, and he's the only soul working on the car. He's literally in tears at one point because it's just him and his crew chief in the shop wrenching on the car. They're a small team with limited people and resources. There's no guarantee someone didn't make a mistake.
So I’ve raced at Dega and Daytona both. I will say they are the easiest as far as gforces go because your banked so far it’s not lateral like Charlotte is a bit** when it comes to lateral gforces. But what people don’t consider is the mental strain of cruising 192-195mph. The amount of heat in the car sealed up. The first Time I raced with the right side window sealed up it was huge change just the lack of air flow.obviously every generation of car changes how it drives. Before splitters we would have uncommanded lane changes the car would just jump a lane. Usually it was from air getting under the car. Especially at Daytona coming off of 4. Most rookies would slap the wall. Because the car would ice skate off of 4 into the dog leg. Skating at 195mph is a terrible feeling. Mentally they are the most challenging when drafting.
2 THINGS: I straight up wrote Kurt in August and straight up repented because I thought his wreck was OK and I thought he was getting paid to miss races for Ty. STILL convinced something going on behind the scene with JGR and 23X1 but I digress. Bowman had me in tears because I thought he was in tears and possibly having a panic attack and I felt for him. I am a DIE HARD KFB fan and CBell so when CBell said hits worse he ever felt, I said hmmm.
Last point. I have fallen so much and hit my head I am now being tested for Absences seizures "vs" Temporal Lobe epilepsy. I am past the point of concussions, not it is a totally different level. I pray for the boys they do not reach my path, 53F NOW having issues from head trauma. I now have problems with my eyes, dizziness, and have back issues that all working together I can be paralyzed for about a minute......Need to pad the car somehow or start a fund to pay medical bills, therapy bills to the days the boys die. The choose their path, climb in the cars, but NASCAR is responsible for their safety.
Apparently NASCAR didn't learn from the last time they stiffened the chassis.
Yea and we lost Dale Sr 😢😢😢
When a driver reports "that was the hardest crash I have ever experienced", that needs to be an automatic/mandatory "go to the infield care center and be looked at by a qualified doctor and concussion expert". Gone are the NASCAR days of the "I don't need a cool suit" or "I hit the wall really hard, fix the damn car I'm goin' back out there" and there is noting wrong with that.
Exactly , and that shows the (whole field safety) aspect and focus on keeping ALL safer
What makes it even worse,is from our angle,the crashes didn't appear that hard.The problem appears to be in their infinite wisdom, NASCAR got rid of the crush zones the help absorb impacts,so even minor hits,go straight to the driver.
@@dochlldy I completely agree with you. I said essentially the same thing about the Kurt Busch Pocono incident, and someone responded they were in that industry and insisted they have crash structures. I said this:
The facts I stated are applicable 1) the cars do not dissipate (shed) the energy, 2) if they had crush structures, that would help.
I know they moved the trans to the rear like a transaxle (similar to the Corvette). I also know they are extremely rigid.
As a person of multiple concussions, I can tell you life changes for you in ways that neither you or others can describe or easily diagnose the damage.
We need accelerometers in the drivers earpieces or at least besides their heads built in to their helmets to automatically trigger after crossing a certain threshold and mandate they get sent to the care center if that threshold is broken, whether they can drive back to the garage or not. Indycar and F1 have this technology in place and for good reason. This is how to improve on our concussion protocol.
What happens if it screws up? Say it's a long green flag run, just clicking off laps and it goes off. What happens then? Just tell them to park it? Or what if it screwed up in multiple cars during a race?
We need an air bag for the driver's seat, specifically around the helmet, that expands. This allows movement for vision in normal activities, but in the instant of a wreck it expands.
Dangerous Car - Nascar needs to take responsibility, this new car is a disaster!
NASCAR has been around for 80 years. How many divers pre 2000 had problems involving concussions? I know diagnosing concussions is relatively new but I am sure there is stories about past drivers dealing with the symptoms of concussions.
Dale Sr's wreck didn't look bad!!
Interesting discussion, it’s pretty clear by their demeanor how concerned they are about this issue. Also makes me wonder how are we this late in the season and just now finding out about it? With all the crashes this year it seems probable there have been others with concussions that didn’t say anything. Mandatory pre-race concussion screening? Also interesting about Lajoie, has anyone heard what “the failure inside the car” was?
Sterring broke
It's really kinda angering that he stayed in the car when he said I can't race the rest of the day. You hear driver's say all the time "we're done" meaning the car is trash but I don't ever recall one saying "I can't race". There's no telling how much more damage he did by running 230+ more lap's. Don't know if it should fall Alex's shoulder's or Alan's but everyone knows a driver is never going to want to take their self out of the car.
That would be Greg Ives
@@jamessechrist7702 I'm pretty sure if Alex would have said his head wasn't right Greg would have pulled him out immediately. I've heard he's taking it really hard.
I have suffered a concussion and I have no idea how they can continue to perform at that level. What ever the case that athlete is putting himself at much greater risk, but he could have caused a wreck that could have put multiple drivers at risk.
They let Danica race for years and she caused wrecks all the time
It is the Car Owner's who now need to step up and to protect their own drivers. Even if it means that all of the drivers themselves now need to protest and to refuse to race to be able to protect themselves.
But then Kevin Harvick get penalized for doing something to a part to make it safer. I'm just about done with Asscar. YOU SHOULD BE THANKING HIM FOR MAKING A PART SAFER!!!
Literally at what point did anyone state that Childers/Harvick modified their car to make it safer? The penalty had to do with modifying the decklid in some fashion, and that's all that has been released.
@@ScottXC91 I heard it was some clip.
This shouldn’t be a problem. Weren’t concerns raised in testing before the season? Oh yeah and it’s not exactly a good luck that one of the most outspoken drivers about it just got slammed with a very suspicious penalty and the other one backed down his comments after a meeting. Just sayin.
Engineering degree here...The magnitude of G forces and the time frame over which they are imposed on the brain is the issue. For instance, higher G forces are more tolerable if they are imposed gradually as opposed to instantaneously. The stiffer the car, the higher the G force and the faster it is imposed. There needs to be more research regarding the threshold of unfavorable outcomes on the brain. All the human data is crash-based and, to a large degree, subjective. We just do not subject humans to this kind of testing because of the nature of the injuries. The military as done a lot of this work in conjunction with ejection seat design, and there is a lot of animal testing. Problem is, determining if a rat has a concussion is very hard to do - they have a very limited vocabulary. Additionally, CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy - the cumulative damage from multiple hits) is a relatively new field of concern. We are finding that the brain is more susceptible to injury than was previously thought and that repeated hits are very cumulative.
The car was designed based on computer modeling. I do not know what G forces were used in the model, but any model needs field-truthing and that is what is currently happening in the races today. To a certain extent, the drivers are test-subjects.
Someone point out where I am mistaken or have made improper inferences.
need to make these cars like demo derby cars. An experienced demo guy puts a little crease in the trunk by the rear window so that thing folds up when hit in the rear and absorbs a huge amount of energy over and over and over again. obviously with a racecar, one and done but have the rear of that car fold and absorb a large amount of energy when backing to a wall or getting hit. but the fuel tank.... itll be fine. these cars already catch on fire without being wrecked so whats to worry with a fire after getting wrecked?
There's a black box in the car. Could there be a red line of G forces that would require the driver be examined before driving again?
Bowman got his break to the Cup Series because of Junior's concussion.
Just because a car can finish the race after a crash does not mean the driver has too. Nascar and the teams could try to come up with a way to have backup drivers at all the tracks ready to finish a race in place of an injured driver?
I can speak on behalf of people that I've had a concussion and they are different for everybody I've had many and the one I'm dealing with now the lingering from hitting my head is horrifying Nascar has to do something about these cars they have to take the undercarriage off so these cars when they hit the wall they don't keep bouncing they don't crumble they don't crush. This car is built so tight there's no give
When it happened we were all worried. I think it was greg who was Jr's crew chief at Michigan. He was trying to get it repaired and Jr said no its killed and greg said ok, np take it to the truck. I like him but he literally told Jr he felt bad about the strategy that caused Jr to be in that riff raff so for him to not be concerned for alex was not right...
It seemed like Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott were a little concussed during their interviews following release from the infield care center. Both had rear impacts and seemed to have stuttered speech, but I could be wrong.
i have said this on other media outlets, not only does the next gen need to be looked at, they also need to look at the soft walls, the seats, headrest and driver education as far as how to take a hit. i truly believe if Bowman does not lean his head forward as he hits the wall, he does not get a concussion. So driver education as far as "how" to crash also needs to be looked at. And while they are at it, G meters in the telemetry also need to be looked at and studied after any type of impact, including during the race as to avoid another situation like Bowman
Thank you Very Much. ❤️
OH MAN! Why do you leave us hanging with the whole LaJoy thing! What “major malfunction” what happened with the steering? Did a bolt get left loose and fall out or did the rack seize up? WTF!?!?
So it was Corey steering rack that broke again?
Yep
Gonna listen / watch Door, Bumper, Bash NASCAR.
They need to start using the accelerometers from F1. Same standard can be applied where they register a g load over the max and they have to park it and get checked out.
So they just park it if it happens during a long green flag run? Cause if NASCAR went that route, you'd see mandatory red flags after x amount of laps
It's the CAR!
NASCAR in JULY "Indeed, the last seven weeks have been dismal for LaJoie and Co., who have finished 34th or worse in five of the last seven races. The team’s Achilles’ heel has been mechanical reliability, most recently in the last two road-course events. At Sonoma, LaJoie’s car suffered from a steering fitting failure. Last week at Road America, a T-bar in the steering rack broke before the green flag waved. "
These cars are trash. And now these guys are in serious danger. Time to scrap these cars i dont see a fix anytime soon.. whata going to happen is all the vets arw going to retire
NASCAR Concussion Cup, Humdinger of a Bell Ringer!
When the guy says he can't drive anymore today then you should tell him to bring it on in if you ACTUALLY CARE!!! If he was told that he would have. The driver told you he was messed up and no one said it was okay to come in and get out. Don't act like he didn't make it known that he got hurt.
As a long time race car builder who prides himself on building safe race cars it truly makes me happy that important people are noticing what is going on. The cars are simply to stiff and do not have enough crush-ability in them. We saw this in the 50’s when cars were built like tanks and the drivers took the brunt of the impacts.
So how come they cant see what is happening in front of their eyes??
Imo it’s unneceptable that we now has two guys he basically disqualified from the playoffs over the cars inability to keep these driver safe.
Why hasn't pinning their head back against their seat during an impending crash (especially prior to a rear crash) always been preached? Just like taking their hands off the steering wheel before a crash. That's why headrests exist in passenger cars to reduce the odds of whiplash and concussion in a rear end collision. I know it's east to say but had Bowman pinned his head back against his seat, would he be out, I'd bet not.
Finish the damn Corey Lajoie story fellas!
Obviously NASCAR needs to take a good look at this new car and make the changes they need to make not soon but now
You gotta know the right times when to be 'selfish' rather than 'selfless' - after all, you can't help others without helping yourself first. Can't let outside pressures get in the way of your health.
A developing driver can't just take a year off. They do that then they can kiss the sponsors and ride goodbye. If the sanctioning bodies can institute some sort of labor protection in the event of injury then sure, but we all know what world we live in and that ain't happening.
Should be protocol: if involved in contact and continue racing either when you retire from race or conclusion of event driver must be checked out at infield care center post race.
I know in F1 when a driver hits hard and registers a high G-Force its automatically checked for.
The g-force meter is in their earbuds I'm sure it's the same way in stock car racing why aren't they doing the same thing.
You hit hard you get tested very easy take this out of the drivers hands.
That tech was developed in indycar. I remember when it first came out. in a crash if a light on the steering wheel was flashing it ment the driver suffered a predetermined amount of g force. Interesting stuff. 👍
That the same Kevin Hamlin who was Dale Sr crew chief?
I’ve had a lot of concussions as a Yard Spotter so I know what’s going on my head is always getting snapped wiplash even at low speed metal on metal is dangerous it adds up over time. NASCAR should not be going backwards like this so there’s no excuse not to fix this
Alex is my favorite driver , I miss him racing but I'm glad he admitted he had a problem and is getting help. I heard his radio transmission about his hard hit , He also said he couldn't drive the rest of the day . My question is : who could hear him ? If Nascar officials heard , shouldn't they have taken him to be evaluated instead of finishing the race ? I know it's not the spotters responsibility , but other people had to have heard him say that and taken him seriously. Just wondering. Get well Alex 💜
Yes, i dont understand why he didnt just get out of the car feeling as bad as he did, maybe he thought if he was at the back and just staying there he could get through it to the end?
I don't know , maybe he felt obligated to finish because of his sponsors and team . He probably didn't realize at the time that he had a concussion .
A tire jack for a pitstop is 13.000 dollars . rack an pinion steering setup goes to the lowest bidder ? . maybe just go to napa ? how in the hell can this keep happening . ? as a race fan i am scared for the drivers .........
I don’t think he only doing what’s best for himself but also for the sport. The drivers and teams know what’s going on and he just put a spotlight on the cars failures.
When Dale Sr. hit the wall at Daytona didn't look bad either and we know what happened there. Nascar doctors need to stop letting drivers get back into a car after some of these hits they are taking. I am very happy Alex did go and get himself to another doctor. I miss is Alex in the car but, he made the right choice to get additional help.
These guys have worked their whole life to get to cup so I understand why they wouldn’t tell anybody
Exactly. Racing is a way of life for them. It inevitably becomes part of who they are. Speaking from experience here. When you're forced to quit doing something you love, it takes a HUGE mental and emotional toll on you. You feel like you've lost a piece of yourself. You feel like you lost your identity. Like you're just lost and really don't know who you are anymore and don't know what to do. That can lead to depression, self doubt, low self esteem, etc. However, when you're allowed back, you just feel this euphoria and just so happy you re-found yourself basically
@@Maverick33 and there is people that would give anything to get a chance at any of these guys seats
Well they keep making the cars more durable so they can crash and keep going. That seems like a pretty bad idea. It just makes people less afraid to crash and they get braver. All the downforce just helps them maintain higher corner speeds so they can wreck harder plus puts more load on the tires so they can blow out and cause more wrecks. Two things NASCAR seems to want to avoid is good racing and safety. It’s all about entertainment. Just bunch ‘‘em up and hold the throttle to the floor all day long.
Maybe they should try some tires that are more narrow which would slow the cars down some (maybe not at dega but everywhere else) and make handling and driver control more important. This might make for better racing, safer for the drivers, and you wouldn't need a maximum HP engine if you can't use the extra HP. Driver safety and on the track action would increase which increases the amount of viewers and fans @ the tracks.
However... I fear that ///Nascar wants their cars to be overly impressive on the track with high speeds over the concerns for safety and the limits of the human body to sustain in a crash.
Real simple FIX the car and or fix the seats. If they are getting hurt like this the seats and or head rest they are not working.
Install safer barrier material behind the rear bumper. Bolt it to the rear clip. Problem solved.
It's pretty obvious that the new car is SO stiff, nothing gives and no crush zones to absorb the impact. The only thing that gives and absorbs the impact is the driver. This car needs a redesign ASAP before we lose another driver. NASCAR is taking a huge risk continuing with this car with no redesign. They already have two playoff drivers sitting on the sidelines with concussions because of the design of this car. I'm sure if they would let the teams make modifications they would have already fixed the problem.
From Aruba
What happens when a final 4 driver gets a concussion and can't race Phoenix?
NASCAR is good at what to do after the concussion,but they made these stupid cars that create the caution in the first place.
Hell the guys are getting hurt on simple/routine wrecks. Bubba had a very minor wreck earlier in the season and his in car audio did not sound good.
NASCAR knew about the dangers of this car. I don't give them any credit.
Bubba's audio sounded pretty much exactly like Bowman's. The difference is, Bubba's car was torn up enough that he couldn't finish. Bowman kept racing.
@@ScottXC91 I think there was another one where he barely backed into a car after several people spun out and although the contact looked very slight, he mentioned how bad that one hurt
a good solution might be more short tracks...
Good luck Freddie with the larson wreck
why are we still racing these cars with all the issues they have?
Corey Lajoe had a crappy part malfunction? say it aint so!
First!
Helmet g sensors might help
Did corie car engine stick wide open?
Also, don’t rest on NASCARs concussion “tests” Clearly the NFL still doesn’t get it and they are YEARS ahead of nascar
Nascar can see the data from impacts. That data needs to be LIVE. That data should be available to view Immediately, Nascar needs to set a minimum Impact number that requires the driver to pull off and instantly go for baseline testing, regardless of current symptoms. I don't think every driver would like this rule, but if a wreck meets minimum Impact criteria, they should be forced to baseline. If they can't return to the track in time for the end of the race, they should by default give that driver his finishing position at the time of the wreck. If that driver does have time to return, they should be able to return in the same position as the wreck, even if 50 laps have passed.
Nascar has a major fucking problem on their hands. Everyone involved with the construction of ANYTHING knows, engineering is NOT the end all, be all, because of data. Nascar needs to get off their data and engineering horse and start making adjustments according to real-life feedback.
This is just me being an idiot and I know NOTHING of course, I'm a tax accountant ffs. But it appears to me that the car doesn't crumple a lot on rear impacts as they used to do. All the force goes straight through the chassis into the most malleable squishy thing in it, the poor driver sod. Wrong or very wrong?
Correct. That's what Hamlin and Harvick and even I think Logano have been saying.
It's like being in an old steel 1950s Cadillac. Car survives but occupants get tossed around. Vs modern cars with crumple zones designed to disintegrate around and protect you.
Don’t they have G meters in the cars? There has to be Scientific data on how many G’s a brain can withstand, maybe check military pilots.
the drivers need to start using the Concussion Protocol as a weapon against Nascar.
.
you wreck, you intentionally fail the testing.
.
we lose a 1/3 of the drivers in field, Nascar will get off their asses.
Umm, no one’s grandma could qualify as fast a professional race car drive. Simply not true.
Sounds like Cory car had some junk nascar parts in it
Cory Lajoie was the victim of shitty parts.
I’ve had 4 concussions it sucks ass
It’s getting to critical levels of concern. Maybe it’s time to seriously think about postponing the rest of the season and completely writing the next one off. This car is badly designed and flawed.
These Next-Gen cars are too structurally stiff!! Doesn't seem like they crumple and absorb impact like the older Gen cars!!
Just come out and say what happened or don't even bring it up because that only makes people irritated and want to know more Especially when it comes to safety
Nascar leaders have totally screwed this series up. After decades of being a fan. I think there should be some changes in the leadership of nascar.
Okay Denny.
Nascar has been around way too long to let stuff like this happen.
This really isn't that hard. Any wreck that is bad enough they have to come down pit lane, Nascar can ask them questions over the radio that will alert them of a concussion. Don't let him leave if he fails. That is what the NFL does. It is not that hard.
The new cars are garbage. From the stupid single lugs to the numbers. The parts are made from used tin foil.
NEVER WILL I USE OFFERPAD
