Hard hits and mouth guards  

Edited by Moderator:  They did talk about the black box data. It was all over NASCAR satellite radio all day on the Wednesday after the race.  The initial tail end hit was measured at 26g's when the nose whipped around and hit, it was measured at 20 'gs.

Pretty sure your going to get a concusion when you hit that hard. Little E didn't hit that hard and he still got a concusion. Football players get concusions all th time and they don't hit helmets at 25g's. 

I would tend to think your going to get even more concusions with the HANS device. Think about it, you now stopped the head from moving forward to prevent breaking necks. Unfortunately when your your heads movement is limited, your brain still moves back and forth inside your skull. Solve one problem and create another.

Are there any links to the article that says drivers are now wearing mouth pieces? I have seen pretty much every winners circle interview this year when they climb out of the car. Not once have I noticed a mouth piece comming out of a drivers mouth. Wait I stand corrected. I think maybe Denny Hamlin wears one to protect the false teeth he already has from trying to play basketball with Jordan.
