NASCAR Crash Demonstrates Focus On Safety

On Saturday NASCAR Sprint Cup rookie Michael McDowell crashed during qualifying. While the crash looks extremely devastating, it’s a testament to the focus the sport has made on driver safety.

Several years ago, NASCARS most dominant figure, Dale Earnhardt was killed in an accident similar to the one McDowell had. As you’ll see from the video, McDowell had a much more positive experience.

That was a massive impact! he did look like he was limping as he walked away though, maybe his adrenaline was still pumping through his veins enough to counter a broken ankle?!

Agreed. After I watched it a few times I did notice he was limping a little, but man, if that’s it, good for him.

He did race on Sunday and didn’t appear to have any real problems.
