There is no way to make this level of racing 100 percent safe. That being said, it shouldn't stop people from trying. When we were running, as the owner, I felt it was my responsibility to do everything possible to make the car as safe as possible. Let's face it, most drivers will jump into any car for the opportunity to drive, especially the younger ones.

At some point you have to decide if the risk is worth the reward. For me it wasn't. The sight of my son barrel rolling through turn four at Lawrenceburg was enough for me. I'm just thankful for the Butler Built seat, HANS device and Spike Chassis that allowed TJ to walk away from that wreck.

Thoughts and prayers to the Clausen family.
