Nuvolari should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The impact seemed to be affected most by Earnhardt collecting Ken Schrader. That turned him sharply into the wall. Had that collision not happened, I think Dale's car might have continued on a more parallel line before hitting the wall. That could have slowed the car further and reduced the angle of impact.

One of the saddest aspects of this whole tragedy is the bitterness -- even death threats -- directed at Sterling Marlin for his involvement in the crash.
