Follow Up Question....  

I watched the race and thought the same thing as why there was no safer barrier. Well here is my thoughts. This track was shut down for years and money was needed to fix the place up. Fan comfort and such take a priority over driver safety as the look at probability and cost and weigh the odds. Safer barrier the last I heard was 400 dollars a foot. I understand that California speedway has lots for sale now but that cost money also. There are companies that do safety inspections as the just did at the Nashville fairgrounds however once a problem is found and put in writing if no action is taken and someone is hurt or dies you are liable. Should that barrier been there and the track owners and suits know it, shame on them. As far as the guys in the booth you only bite the hand that feeds you so hard. Sometimes pictures speak louder than words.
