This crash scared the whatever out of NASCAR.

We were at Talledaga when Bobby Allisons car

went airborn and almost got into the stands.

Believe that was the crash that brought about

the restrictor.

Whether its NASCAR or NHRA racing we always

get as high up in the stands we can.

Prayers for all the injured today

If you look at the fan video and the still photo you can see there is a track access door/gate right where the car impacted the fence.

When I first saw the crash, I thought the way the fence "grabbed" the front of the car instead of the car just bouncing off the fence as it is designed to do, was odd.

Why have an access gate at the apex of a turn?

I smell culpable negligence
