@Joshua Kosiba roll cage is never meant to break

@Peter Brownless I agree, Luckily for drivers, crew and spectators they don’t wait for a death the institute change.

​@Braxton JacksonI think Lady Luck or God or both intervened at the right moment.

Hope NASCAR work out how to improve it, sure they will.

God had nothing to do with it, people who designed the safety equipment and the cars did.

@Joshua Kosiba Many drivers especially Kevin Harvick has complained that the cars do not crumple. They are to rigid which transfers the impact energy to the drivers body.
I think it is to soon to speculate on what if anything failed which is why the cars are in the R&D center. Looking at this car with the body stripped, I think we can all confirm that Larson is lucky to have had that impact the passenger side vs his driver door.

what the heck are you talking about?

@Phil Sonnenberg yep, exactly. These bars are detached not crumpled.

@Phil Sonnenberg All because NASCAR found a way to make more money on vendor kickbacks. Before when teams built and bought parts from reputable suppliers, things were different.
