There is no current safety feature on the cars today that would have changed anything in his scenario, therefore, slowing the cars down was the only "sure thing." I personally don't like the restrictor plates, I've been to Talladega, and I would love to see a race there where they were hitting 220+. Just one occurance though, that's all it would take. Could you imagine one of those sled's barrel-rolling down the main grandstand there. That lawsuit would be sooo big that both the track owner and probably NASCAR itself would never financially recover from that.

I agree with you 100%. They should do like they did at Homestead but instead of making progressive banking, take some of the banking away. I know it would cost the track a lot of money but it would make it much safer. Besides the money shouldn't be a problem for the tracks, they make enough of it. LOL
