    Apparently they are getting close to figuring out this darn mess

    Investigation report

    Most of the above short article we already know. The important thing is that NASCAR has a date set to release the official story on the Earnhardt crash and safety issues.

    I read they have a computer model of the crash.

    How do you make a computer model with no telemetry from the car to tell you what happened ?

    Yup, I'm sure we'll really learn *alot* from NASCAR's official version.

    No offense, but I guess if NASCAR were to tell us wolverines make great house pets we shouldn't question it.
    My first Indy 500 was 1973, haven't missed one since 1981. To date I have attended 35 Indy 500's, and probably 100 or so other IndyCar races (CART & IRL).

    Actually NASCAR wouldn't say that. They would announce the wolverine as "the official house pet of NASCAR". Then they could demand a royalty from all wolverine sales.

    Even a little would be more than we are sure of right now.

    I have a question:

    The EMT who said the seat belt was intact, didn't he say he had to cut the belt to get DE out of the car?

    Itll say NASCAR cars dont absorb any of the hit and the drivers absorb all of it, they wont say that, and thats why I think that
    Nascar cars are more dangerous than IRL Indy Cars.
