Nationwide Daytona

If it's being removed and not allowed to be shown, why is Speed still showing it over and over? I'm confused at that part.

Speed probably has a NASCAR license to show the footage. They are, after all, basically the NASCAR channel.
 
Not the same video. One pulled seems to depict an inescapable conclusion.

Does it look to anyone else like the problem was that Larson's car caught on the opening in the fence for the access gate? Maybe the gate gave, the car caught on the surrounding frame, and that is what ripped the front end off?

If that's the case, the same could have happened at the faster 1.5 and 2.0 mile tracks.
 
President of Daytona " the safety equipment and protocols we had in place due to prior incidents worked"

Tell that to the 15 people in the hospital!!!

If it wasn't for that safety equipment, we'd be talking about how many fatalities there were. I wouldn't say that it didn't work. What else would you suggest they do?
 
He was correct in that the tether worked as the hood was stayed with the car o_O

Obviously if parts are flying over it it isn't high enough.
 
While I do agree it saved a lot of lives there is always room for improvement.

That was addressed before after the last incident at 'Dega. If it was any higher, the catch fence wouldn't be as strong and they couldn't guarantee it would do it's job.
 
I'm not sure what right NASCAR has to remove videos fans film from YouTube. Does that mean that they'll start pulling photos fans post from the stands as well?

Today's not the day for it and I understand why NASCAR did it - but, tomorrow, they should definitely get chewed out over that.

Yes, I think you're right. I stop framed the speed center video and you can catch a glimpse of the tire landing in the crowd and knocking someone out of their seat. Right at that moment, a piece a debris rockets at high speed thru the fence and straight into the upper deck. I wouldn't be surprised if that debris did the most damage to someone because it was moving way faster than the tire.
 
That wreck was exactly like the Stewart/Busch wreck in the 400 a few years ago. The leader trying to throw a block.

I may have my wires crossed about this but I think it has something to do with keeping the identity of the injured fans under wraps until they are sure that all of their family and friends have been contacted. The established news outlets have been doing this for decades. The new social media frequently oversteps the boundaries of common sense just to give someone their 15 seconds of fame. Good or bad doesnt matter, we are stuck with the new technical age where virtually everybody has a camera rolling or ready to roll.

The established news media spent all night showing images of the injured people and showing the videos NASCAR pulled. Let's not just criticize social media. CNN's coverage tonight made my journalism career weep.
