Jesus. Thank God he's okay now. Just a testament to how safe these cars are even though he was injured it could have been much much worse. If he was going to wreck, turn one was the best place so help could arrive faster.

Sure wish pedestrian cars were this safe. Lore knows they need to be.
 
Road Atlanta is very fast for a road course, a lot of long downhill straightaways. I thought it would be perfect for the NASCAR audience but they would probably have to put in chicanes to prevent serious accidents.

The K&N East Series raced there last year since NASCAR owns it now. Having two races in that market might not go over well though.

Yeah, I'm sure SMI would get their panties in a bunch over a second track in the Atlanta market.
 
Cool story. A glimpse into the life of a race car driver.

I remember that race and I was annoyed with the announcers praising him for driving hurt (they went on and on about it). I don't have a problem with drivers racing hurt, they often run better than usual (probably because they are more focused on the task at hand which helps block discomfort). I didn't see any glory with Brad racing hurt, I saw a man doing what he had to do for his profession (it turned out well).
 
True or not I just heard that there is a high probability that he dictates his storyline and a PR person writes his blog for him. If It's true I don't guess it matters, It's still his story.

NASCAR pretends to be more concerned with safety than they are. They buy the place and an outside party has to do auctions to fund putting some softer barriers up. Iowa is the only track with SAFER barriers up all the way around the track and it has no Cup date. Hokay.

I still remember that win, brad doesn't give himself enough credit he passed kyle busch for the win in that race. It was at that very moment I knew brad k was going to be something special as a driver. You don't pass KB on equal terms in the closing laps unless you are for real as a wheel man. if nothing else he knew given the right situation and opportunity he could beat the sports best, that is a very powerful accomplishment for a driver. The confidence it gives always seems to show itself with future wins and success in the sport.
