I agree he is fortunate to not have any injuries, but for Nascar to place the blame on the chassis, if they indeed did, is a sham, to me, it did just what it was supposed to do, it saved him from serious injury, think what would have happened if it hadn't separated, talk about a tank slapper! Not to mention the sudden stop. I've now been hearing that the area he hit, is a gate to the infield, to allow large equipment to cross the track, and is actually 45 feet wide, like I said, that's what I've heard, but I'm sure something will be reported in due time. I also witnessed the one in 1969? I think it was, that was covered on live TV, and it was all there, as gruesome as it was, they kept the cameras rolling, I can still see it, altho I'd rather not!
