Race cars will always go where you least expect them to and end up in the most unlikely places during a crash.
Certainly some tracks could improve their fencing no question.
I know of a race team that went to a track once apon arrival they saw something they didn't approve of safety wise in the wall. They didn't race there that night, they left and raced at another track that same night.
I'm more worried about people texting and driving and drinking and driving.
The most dangerous thing I'll do is pull out of my driveway. Ha!
Hope all racers crew & fans have a safe weekend at all tracks!

That driver happened to win that night at Putnamville. The problem was rebar sticking out of the wall and the owner refused to clip it off. As it turns out that might have been the worst race i've ever seen. Can anyone guess the driver and the track?
