I bet Hendrick ain’t happy. Especially with Elliott missing those weeks with the snowboarding accident. Hope he doesn’t put a stop to it.

Eat dirt, be happy
Let’s go Brandon!!

Just tells me that Snow Boarding is as dangerous as racing

I’m curious how the Nascar media types will handle this. My guess is they will not be favorable of Alex’s pastime. I saw a headline from Elliot’s snowboarding accident endorsing his life outside of racing. My guess is they won’t show the same compassion for lowly sprint car racing. I hope I’m wrong

Given Briscoe's injury from the Late Model race I would assume dirt racing in general will catch bad press from the grocery getter society over this.

All you gotta do is look at Larsons Cup Car. If that was drivers side, I shudder to think

I understand people who invest millions into a driver being concerned. It is not just in racing. I had a family member married to a major league pitcher. It was in his contract things he couldn't do. The list included, riding a motorcycle, sky diving, and tamer things such as playing golf. He could only play in his charity golf tournament one day a year. I think Hendrick has been pretty fair about it, and hopefully his recovery is quick. I thought Alex had looked pretty good at times this year.

There is a HUGE differance between the left side and right side in cage construction! The drivers side has multiple bars and a plate going from bottom frame rail to window opening that runs from wheel opening to wheel opening.

Does anyone know if Bowman had a Crash Pad seat insert in his car?
