Here are a couple videos from this year I found on you tube. Looking at the video I seen some issues that could be addressed but I'm sure it could be made safe. One of my biggest concerns is the catch fence on the front stretch and the poles along that same area. A race car in the stand in my opinion is as bad or worse than on hitting a pole. Sprint cars can take some nasty high flips and the last thing we need to do is hurt the fans that are there. Watch the videos and make your own decision.
This is just my personal opinion.
