@JayCutlerWrld I don't see debarked trees...first sign of EF5. Too early to call it anything but a tornado until official NWS survey crew does estimates
@RayEvernham You spoke the truth brother...and those who's feeling are hurt are feeling guilty. Thank you @RayEvernham for standing up for America!!! You rock man!!!

E. 1 (I can win on equal setups, but I don't know how to set a car as good as the top runners. Maybe we should judge talent on actual talent. The drivers tell the crew chief how the car feels...the driver doesn't actually set the car up)
@Jalopnik This story is full of mindless ignorance. NASCAR understands the risks, but it's the media that pushes crashes as the hook to pulls in viewers, so get your story right. Crashes are part of the job, and so are injuries...just as any other sport, yet injuries happen less in #NASCAR
@Almostfm @KR0PPY9@nascarman_rr@NASCAR Also...just to clarify, Newmans car did not flip by "blowover". The force of the impact caused the car to rollover. You could almost say that the kickback from the safer-barrier actually contributed to his flip.
@Almostfm @KR0PPY9@nascarman_rr@NASCAR Cars have flipped going much slower at Daytona and Talladega. Again, you are partly right. Those cars are designed to protect the driver in higher, more severe crashes. Unfortunately, the cars aren't designed to protect upside down getting hit in the driver-side winder at 60mph.
@Almostfm @KR0PPY9@nascarman_rr@NASCAR 2. Had Newman turned his wheels to the right vs left his car would've slowed more causing Hamlin to clip his right rear, spinning Newman around fast enough to back into the wall, preventing a rollover.
@KR0PPY9@nascarman_rr Slowing the cars down could be worse. I think @NASCAR has done a great job at making these cars safer with more speed, but, even so there's only so much they can do. NASCAR shouldn't change a thing.
@nascarman_rr Curve of turn was different in both. So was distance from wall. Busch was midway up track, Newman at the bottom. Busch in 2009, under under exact same circumstances, would have same results even without the extra few mph. Still, the cars are safer today than 10 years ago.
