While yes, modern cars are quite safe, the car he was driving is only very loosely related to what you drive on the road.Mr. Newman drives a Ford, should be a point of positivity for that company as it is proof of how safe their cars are
Great news for Ryan. It's amazing what some of these drivers can walk away from without serious injuries.Incredible, when that crash happened I didn't know if he would be alive.

I drive a ford, but that crash would have killed everybody in it.Mr. Newman drives a Ford, should be a point of positivity for that company as it is proof of how safe their cars are

Yes the roll cage could probably withstand an 18 wheeler, but there are still the G forces involved in a crazy crash like that.

The design of those cars is that the car collapses, thus softening the impact on the driver.
The auto industry is doing the same thing.The days of rigid car bodies is a thing of the past.
The auto industry has long ago abandoned the rigid car body design. They took note of what NASCAR had done.Agreed!Incredible, when that crash happened I didn't know if he would be alive.

There is no comparison between a Cup car and a conventional civilian car. None....especially in terms of safety. NASCAR would be having deaths every single weekend if they raced conventional cars and cut the speed by more than half. NASCAR drivers are surrounded by a chromoly steel cage. No parts from a typical Chevy Camaro or Ford Mustang are used in a Cup car.
I'm not sure the car a NASCAR driver operates can be compared to the Fords sold to Mr. and Mrs. average citizen.Mr. Newman drives a Ford, should be a point of positivity for that company as it is proof of how safe their cars are
