Remember this wreck at Dover last year?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjhtnaD2DVY&feature=related

to me this was the COT's first durability test.

Answer 1

Yep, that was a hard hit for sure.  At that part of the track there is not much room to go around a car wrecking in front of you until you get to the entrance of the turn.  Thank god they also have the safer barriers on the inside wall at Dover.

3 STR8 N 08!!!

Answer 2

I was at the truck race in 07 there they pilled up on the bakstrech on the first lap

poor clint bowyer was in it too i wanted him to win

Answer 3

Yeah, that sure was a hard hit. And it sure was proof that it is a safer car. But man, did you see Kyle Bush in that? Barley touched and hit  the wall, almost hit two cars, and just drove through it.

Answer 4

Most likelly Kurt caused it

Answer 5

Anything to assure safety.   One year a few years ago, sprint car racing experienced 40 deaths in one year and that was maybe 20 years back and even northeastern nascar modifieds attrition rate was too high.  So they put styrofoam on the walls and the sprints added many safety features and mortality is way down..  Good for the COTs.

Answer 6

yeah i do, and ur right, this new car is so tough, i wonder if see'n some of the wrecks we've see in the last year or so if any driver would want to go back to the old car, I know Michael Mcdowell wouldnt.
