CONCORD, N.C. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he’s more confident than ever that NASCAR is doing everything it can to make its sport safer for drivers.
But he also stressed that the process will never be complete.
“The quest for making the car safer is never-ending,” Earnhardt said. “So we’ll always be trying to look at every accident and figuring out what we can do.”
Earnhardt was speaking in the aftermath of last Saturday night’s terrifying, fiery crash involving Aric Almirola, Danica Patrick and Joey Logano at Kansas Speedway. It left Almirola with a compression fracture of his back that Almirola said on Friday would sideline him for the next 8-12 weeks.
