Just remember, safety issues do not only effect the drivers, but also their family members as well as the racing fans in the stands.
From a fans perspective I NEVER want to see anybody injured or killed at a race I'm attending. In the thousands of races I've been to over my life it's only happened twice, and for me that's twice too many. It happened at Sun Prairie one night, and I know for a fact that several fans in the stands have never returned to that facility.
If it makes the drivers safer, then I'm all for it and would hope the sanctioning bodies make it a rule.
An earlier poster brought up a great point, I'd love to see tracks do a better job of making their facilities safer. I hate looking at a track and seeing unprotected ends of walls or unprotected things in the infield. As an example, attending the Silver Crown race at the Indiana State Fairgrounds had me aghast at the safety conditions along the front stretch.
