No BUT, they have alot more sheet metal and car around them than a sprint car driver does. If a sprintcar driver gets into a wreck, the chance of injuries is alot higher. Remember the Brickyard 20X20 from 2008? That was a huge tire issue even after Goodyear tested at the track prior to the race. Las Vegas has had Goodyear tire issues as well.
I just hope they do alot better job of tire design for the sprints than they did for NASCAR.
