I can barely watch this video. My family is a family of NASCAR fans. My dad is a Jeff Gordon fan, while my aunt loves Tony Stewart, and there's a lot of good-natured ribbing going back and forth every Sunday. They never, ever miss a race. My dad drag races himself, and has since I was a kid, and I guess racing is just something that will always be in my family.
A lot of people just watch NASCAR to see the crashes. Well, this one's a doozy, and it's tough to watch:
How that man was able to walk away, I have no idea. God was on his side that day, that's for damn sure.
They call it the "Car of Tomorrow." Has had nagging tire wear issues, but the safety is out of sight, as witnessed by the fact the young man not only walked away from the crash, but planned on racing this weekend (which means not even a concussion from flipping once and rolling several times).
War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill

God, and the safety barn door that was closed after Dale senior's death.

Being only 24 years old helps, too. If that had been Mark Martin or Bill Elliott, probably would have been take out in pieces.
