Thanks, Jan. That blog will help we lay folk to understand better some of the terminology we read in the official reports and speculations.

That was a great article. Informative and easy to understand; without the general alarm and hand-wringing that often applies to these types of articles. It emphasizes the fact that drivers bear some of the responsibility of maintaining their safety. The primary danger for race drivers is to those on the low end of the ladder. The track with a 40 year old guardrail set-up, the guy who scrimps on the best safety equipment so that he can spend more money on the motor. What happened to Jason Leffler is less likely to happen to Tony Stewart. He can afford the safest and best-maintained equipment and to run the most modern tracks.
