Another thing to think about is, who fricken thinks it a good idea to angle the walls towards the drivers? That makes them hit them at a closer to 90º angle. Stupid track managers.
I think by the way David Ragan got out of the car he looked as if he has a broken if not bruised ankle the same for David Reutimann if they are both injured which we hope not it will cause a big blow to both Michael Waltrip racing and Roush Fenway Racing
I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CoolCent. com
I was right in that turn during the Reutiman and Ragan crash, my god it was a scary sight, thank god he was alright, very nasty lick into the guard rail, those walls are way too hard, drivers are complaing about them a ton after todays race, Hamlins wreck was nasty too.
Sadler's wreck at Pocono was in August 2011, it was the hardest impact ever record in NASCAR history, and Pocono Raceway installed SAFER barriers in most parts of the track.
All those problems listed there are with the shape of the Armco wall, not the wall itself. It would be like arguing that SAFER Barriers are unsafe because of wrecks like Gordon at Vegas in 2008 where he hit a hole in the wall.
However, with that said, when Armco walls are hit hard, they can sling cars in the air, like what happened here or with Steve Park at Pocono back in 2002, and that's never safe.
@rjl1184 it looks to me that it is a work in progress (replacing the Walls) as the have in some places loke they have a pocono. im just glad all the drivers are ok but it wouldnt surprise me to see safer barriers in the near future.
Those Armco barriers aren't save! Why do you think Reutimann flipped. Why do you think David Ragan was shook'n up after getting out of that car, Gordon was shook'n up in his wreck in '09. The safer barriers have saved drivers lives, and when they crash into safer barrier most of the energy from the impact is absurbed by them. Armco barriers don't absurb any impact and are just as bad as hitting a concrete wall, like the one that Killed Earnhardt.
@99boyz yes in a directn hit thARMCO barriers are softer but that is also there weakness the way reutimann hit the ARMco barriersis the reason they are dangerous they tend to grab the cars an fling them around violently and jerk the cars to a stop. were as the safer barriers not only give the deflect the car. i'm not saying they need them around the hole track, but just in placeswhere the drivers are going to hit at an odd angle like regan and reutimann.
Shows how much intestinal fortitude to not turn Right on Road Course since they are use to going on a circle or oval or tri-oval at 200 mph!

Ragan actually came up on Boris, Boris just kept his line. Ragan's spotter had cleared him. Irregardless, horrible wreck.

Get rid of those damn ARMCO barriers! Reasons why: 2009-Jeff Gordon & Sam Hornish Jr. wreck at the Glen, 2010-Elliott Sadler at Pocono.
