have to thank all the safety equipment there...earnhardt hit the wall almost the same way

Larry Herman

I'm glad that he is ok. That was a classic case of holding the correction too long. The car had stopped it's rotation and was already swinging back towards the left and he still had the wheels in a countersteering position. Little wonder it snapped left and pointed itself right into the wall. Yeah, and I was thinking about Earnhardt too.

It'll buff right out...

The fronts really caught a big hook up to send it into the wall that hard. I've seen plenty of Indy cars do that, but not to many stock cars.

Larry Herman

It's the new wing. It seems to produce more downforce and stability, and where the car used to just come around, it now is catchable, but you would have to be very quick. I saw at least 4 incidents at the Daytona 500 where the drivers caught the car when the back end slid instead of it just spinning out.

It looked like he had the rear sliding very early in that corner, then probably lifted hard pushing the weight up front with the steering in a over-corrected position. Quick hook up and wham. Scary to watch how fast it can happen. That new car looks twichy compared with the old one.

If there was ever a question about the importance of the Safer Barrier, look at that and see the outcome....

JC3D

Maybe he was just paving the road for other racers to occasionally make a right hand turn.

man I love my HANS device!!

WHOA, that is one lucky duck right there.

Sean F

in the interview, he said he put too much correction in

That's a true testiment to the design of safety put into the track safer barrier, the safety equipment for the driver, and truly speaks to the safety engineered into the car of tomorrow...

This is rather timely since my shop mechanic just sent me a long note questioning my safety in a car that doesn't have a full cage, fire system, or fuel cell, with the power to overcome the 999 PP/GT3RSR Ceramic puck clutch...

Earnhardt died so that others may live. Hans, Safety Barrier,.... that dude should thank those who came before him. Incredible.
