I was there. It was unbelievable when he walked out of that pile. Same spot where Michael Waltrip crashed a number of years earlier. His car was actually worse than this one.
You know noone really knows it was either because he hit the side of his car where there is a wall sticking out o the track or the car body was built or put on wrong but nobody is really sure.
There is really no question about it. The impact of the car hitting the end of the wall was what caused it to be cut open. The integrity of the car does not factor in, except for the fact that he walked away unscathed.
The gate was not properly secured. When the car came into contact with the gate it flew open and the car went head on into the concrete wall. The impact of a 3,400 pound car, moving close to 100mph, into a stationary wall,creates an incredible amount of force, so the wall acted on the car like a warm knife through butter.
Did someone forget to install the rollcage.

The barrier caved in, its the part of the barrier where the haulers enter the track. This wasn't the first time this had happened

I think NASCAR was experimenting with a new kind of chassis made from recycled Coke cans.
