It has been amazing how many stories there have been since Daytona about safety. For now, the real experts on safety are the drivers. I would like to believe that racers are larger than life heroes, but they are not. They get scared just like you. But it is where the fear lingers that is important.
Fear has no place in the driver's seat.
Surely there are thousands of capable drivers salivating at a chance to substitute themselves for an absentee driver this weekend, and under the same dangerous circumstances as the Talladega rules. But let us not mistake safety concerns with whining. Questions about making racing safer can only help. It just might help a little Saturday night dreamer like me.
