Looked like Bodine had a throttle stuck open - he didn't seem to slow at all between hitting the outside wall & the inside wall. If anything, he seemed to accelerate...
Definitely a prime example of 'A Bad day at The Office'...
A tire barrier could have softened that impact substantially. A possible risk though would be tires being flung into the air and into a spectotor area (even if the tires were bound together to meet, say, FIA standards). On a street circuit there is such a low risk of that happening because these barriers are in braking zones.
Do you have the race at North Wilkesboro where Brett won? If you do, would you please post it?

Makes you wonder why they didn't have a tire barrier lining that wall back then. They could have done that easily.

A tire barrier wouldn't of helped much.

Looked like Christi Passmore's crash in the ARCA crash at Tally a few years ago.

It did, almost an exact replica of that crash at Talladega back I think in 2004, 2005 somewhere in there
