Holy $%^@&!!! That's the biggest single-car crash in NASCAR I've seen in quite a long time. It really is amazing that he walked away from that.

The decals they stick on the cars really make them safe. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Wow what a crash! And he looked more like Evel Knieval than a race car driver with that wave to the crowd as he walked away.

thats awesome.... obviously the cars and track in NASCAR are very well engineered. roll cage held up good, the new walls did their job, no doubt the hans device played its part too because that was almost head on with the wall. good stuff.
