three things saved Michael here, the CoT the SAFER barrier and his HANS. The CoT is shit for racing but thats due to the aero package and with a few fixes the racing can improve. Also get rid of the two car drafts
even with all the saftey stuff, hes still very lucky he didnt die. a stray piece of debris couldve went through his helmet, or could have gotten hit by a tire. its safe, but not death-proof. we kinda forgot that in the 90s a little and then Earnhardt bought the farm.
oh most definetly there would be a good chance someone could be dead right now or close to it HUGE KUDOS TO NASCAR AND THE CAR OF TOMORROW AND THE TECHNOLOGY IN MODERN SAFTEY. i think if that crash had happend 5 years ago he would have been crushed without a doubt
its amazing b/c this is only quilifying. i dident watch quilifying. i wish i had. this is 1 of the hardest empacts. reminds me of scott riggs talladaga, 05
As far as the content goes... thank you, Car of Tomorrow. All of the naysayers telling us that the CoT is ruining the sport can take a hike. Two years ago, Michael McDowell would be dead after that wreck.

If not dead, at least a vegetable. 10 years ago, he would of been dead on arrival of the wall, let alone hospital.

Kudos to the cameramen for keeping the cameras on the accident, cant stand amateur cameramen dropping the camera to see it with theyre own eyes.
