The steering column is interesting. In one of Danica Patrick's recent wrecks in the Nationwide series, her steering column also moves upwards and away from the driver, as Reutimann's did in the Watkins Glen Cup crash. Remember that the vogue in NASCAR is for drivers to sit up very close to the wheel; I could understand this in the days before they had power steering, but don't know why they persist in doing so know.
