    Bummer! was kinda rooting for the guy....Safety first..gotta find a better way to protect these racers.....I know them guys (eldora) had an uphill battle to provide the racers a track to race on.(It looked like it had some character to it) mother nature hasn't helped..... Yea I saw Sprinters had a different 'bar' setup....I thought now a days racers wore full face helmets, are they that crappy or is the stuff just like a grenade when it hits them? (I aint no racer, just watch).

        Bars in front of driver and screens reduce issues. Everyone complained about surface when Richard's took shot and now Clanton. Could we be looking in wrong area? Maybe it's not track but equipment we wear or build?

            I noticed a lot of extra screening acrossed the bars that are already in there this weekend in the pits

              Still sad you enjoy seeing a driver get injured. Seems you are the one with the real problem.

                  I suppose that the I.Q. is about the same in between both those elements ? ?

                    Great T-shirt idea - I believe there would be huge sales of the dirt clod popping the clod-head.

                    No chassis sales, no sponsorship interest, no fans, no crew chief, no crew...

                      By GOD, I would buy one of those and even wear it at the racetracks unlike the other guy who uses his to wipe the port -a -pooper toilets out in the pits.

                          The crazy thing is, that until they started mandating it, alot of drivers didn't have anything.
                          Bloomquist used to never have the bars in front of him.

                            They should all implement a wider guard directly in front of the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit. And not the bars some are currently using. I'm talking something much wider. Similar to what they have in Formula 1.

                              Could they name the T-shirt " The CLODHOPPER " ? ?
