Stadium "Improvements" or Safety? We Know Where Daytona and NASCAR Stand

They are very fortunate, today, as Joey Logano celebrates a Daytona 500 win.

They are very fortunate that they aren't grieving yet another Daytona NASCAR death after yesterday's head-on slam into the infield wall at Daytona.

In what was not a good weekend to be a Busch brother, Kyle Busch is now out indefinitely with at least one broken leg because of this debacle during the XFinity (that's the new sponsor for the former Busch/Nationwide second-tier series) race yesterday:


That is a head-on crash into the inside wall at what had to be a good 100+ MPH.  (The #54 streaming off to the left side of the screen.)

Kyle Busch is very fortunate to be alive today.  That wreck should've killed him.

Why?

Because Daytona didn't put SAFER barriers on the inside wall.  That was a full lick on, I believe, a concrete wall.

And the track just upgraded to try to "upgrade" it's experience for the fans.

HOW ABOUT UPGRADING FOR THE DRIVERS???

The drivers were pissed yesterday, and they had every right to be.  Kyle Busch took a head-on hit to an old-school wall and probably should've died yesterday.

But does NASCAR care enough to demand the changes needed?

Do the tracks care enough???
