Wow. How can they leave the end of a concrete barrier exposed like that? If
they had added 2 or 3 more sections of k-rail he'd still be alive today.

What an ugly, brutal crash. Ugh.

Wow, I saw the news report but that video is awful. It's like the
concrete just T-boned the side of his car. Tragic and unnecessary.
If it's NASCAR-sanctioned, they should get more involved in
determining which tracks are unsafe and work to make them safer.
