The "cavalier" attitude racers had was because they knew they were strong enough to handle it. <br /><br />BTW, Petty used relief drivers numerous times in 1980 after his Pocono wreck - there's a difference between handling the hits and being foolish about it.Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-53543337642081285872012-10-18T15:26:48.645-04:002012-10-18T15:26:48.645-04:00i know that driver should do what will keep them s...i know that driver should do what will keep them safe, but if it wont for them older drivers driving like that with brokon bones and all other types of injuries nascar would not be here today. thats what got people to tell there friends that this crazy tough mother f'er going to drive a car over 200mph with broken bones and etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-36703146633346435412012-10-18T13:12:06.190-04:002012-10-18T13:12:06.190-04:00Been alot of critisium with Earnhardts concussion ...Been alot of critisium with Earnhardts concussion deal, but, why do some view this in Nascar as OMG really?? i have driven with broke necks, bones concussions,,Suck it up and drive. are drivers going to be whinning and non supportive of nascar's decision to check for concussions. It's a proven fact that too many cause long term problems later in life. I think its good, but the drivers going to be upset if they say u need to be checked out, and if the docs say no ur not cleared to drive, most will be upset.. They might feel it should be their decisions. It will be touchy, and guess im curious as to how the drivers really feel..I believe this is good step..What are your thoughts with this?juls88noreply@blogger.com
