well you know since that crash nascar implemented the head device and few others so it wont happen again, i think it was dale jerrett or jimmie johnson last year ran into the wall and if it wasn't for that new head guard they would have been where dale sr. was.

most probably nhra will do the same

I heard that he wrecked during qualifying, but I didn't know he died. I follow drag racing. Actually going to Va when they come through and our new track in Charlotte (NC). Prayers to the family.

Its always sad to see someone loose there life, but feels somewhat better knowing they died doing something they truly love. My heart and prayers are with his family.
