I was merely eluding to the fact that Sprint car racing is not a bastion of good practice in racing safety, do in fact have full roll cages around the drivers, and still does injure and kill a lot of drivers.


Go here

http://www.motorsportmemorial.org/index.php?db=ct

and search for Sprint Car fatalities. 27 Fatalities since 2000.
I have no idea how many injuries.
I hope you did the research well (but suspect not) because the first one I happened to check turned out to be a spectator killed by flying debris which, while unfortunate, is hardly relevant to driver safety.
