She hit the wall and crossed the center line, she was DQ'd. She is at the hospital getting checked out.It shows on the ladder that she won. And I don't think 2nd round has started yet. Hope it isn't true.
She was in a ton of pain, I hope it's just a few minor bruises and heels quickly. Those side impacts are scary.My source says she's ok. I haven't heard different since it happened.

Besides the cost there could be problems. I have not seen the NASCAR soft walls in person. But based on pictures and knowledge of foam panels here is my opinionIs there any reason why tracks can't implement something like the SAFER barriers that they use in Nascar? Might be time to look into something like that.
The barriers appear to extend 2 to 3 feet into the racing surface. So to add a barrier on each side reduces the racing surface width by 6 feet. If a car gets out of the groove they sometime drift to the wall without actually hitting it. Less room for these non accidents.
??? So cars heading for the wall can be going that much faster prior to impact? Yes, it might prevent some of the side slaps but think of all the head-on or sharp angle wall impacts, this would NOT be a good idea.Okay so move the damn walls back by 3 feet or whatever is required! What a simple fix!
