"Oh, man, this is gonna hurt." - Martin Truex Jr.
But it didn't. The Safer Barriers at Martinsville did their job. They absorbed the impact and nobody got hurt. Well, the cars got hurt, but not the drivers.
Wowee, what a hit. The folks in the stands Sunday felt the hit, I'm sure. But the NAPA KnowHow man said it didn't, surprisingly enough. After his car stopped, he jumped out and bounded to the RedBull Toyota of Kasey Kahne to check on him. And, he was OK, too.
Not gonna debate the obvious, "only if..." and Dale Earnhardt. You don't know if it would have made a difference.
But there is no doubt the sport is safer today after that dark day 10 years ago in Florida.
