@PYLrulz1984 I think California doesn't have a backstretch wall either. But im not for sure.

Jimmy Horton actually walked away from this crash, and it was Stanley Smith that was critically hurt, suffering a similar injury to the one that killed Dale Earnhardt.

@PorygonFanatics he still races dirt modifieds in new jersey, Pennysylvania and Delaware.

This was 1993. It was also the race that Neil Bonnett took down the catch fence in the tri-oval....and the first race at Talladega after Davey Allison's died in a helicopter crash at the track. It was a long, hot day. Jimmy Horton is still alive today and races DIRT Modifieds in the North East. Look up New Eqypt Speedway where he's 6th in the point standing.
Yeah, pretty much the primary reason they have catchfences go around the entire race track instead of spectator areas, though some tracks, like Pocono, still dont have that setup.
The thing is though, think of Ricky Craven's crash 3 years later. Without catchfencing, he could of just ended up like Horton.
