Ok, thankyou for that info. So the car isn't designed to break in the areas outside of the rollcaged areas; the bulkhead forward, for example? What I mean is, are these areas built 'tough' on purpose, or are they just generally built rigid enough for the car to function properly? The guy I've been arguing with is basically telling me that the cars are built as solid as a rock and aren't meant to break apart, for example, in the way an Indy or F1 car would do so. What bothers me about the notion of there being no other protection is where two cars collide with each other. I seem to remember reading that NASCAR cars are pretty heavy, when compared to other race cars of the same size, so something like that being hit by an equally large and heavy object at high speed is sure to cause some damage; if the car doesn't absorb the impact, surely the driver must?
