No amount of additional safety equipment can hold the brain or the internal organs in place enough to prevent internal injuries in wrecks. Backing up the rules would be the smartest move right now and show that Nascar is actively seeking a solution. Racing isn't Russian Roulette. Most all the variables are known and all possible precautions are taken. When something is obviously wrong, something has to be done.
Dissension rises from confusion and a lack of answers.
With the death of Dale Earnhardt, Nascar is under fire. A fine line exists between withholding information to protect the sport and withholding information to prevent outside investigation. Nascar's silence is thunderous. Treating Dale's death like a crime investigation privately raises common sense suspicions and conspiracy theories. Earnhardt was the people's champion.
