Tony Stewart is the man, that is all you can say. But what I was really impressed about Tony is that he didn't add his usual "snarkyness," he responded clear and to the point. Now as a true NASCAR fan I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dale Jarrett, a veteran of the sport did not say what this reporter thought he said. There is no way any driver would think that fans would like to see them get hurt. My guess is is that Jarrett's supposed comment was taken way out of context.

A race Fan is someone who buys a ticket and goes to the track to soak up the atmosphere meet and greet other fans and their favourite driver and enjoy the day. They want to see on the edge racing not see someone get badly hurt or worse. Race cars of ALL types are today much safer and stronger than ever, some accidents you just cannot prepare for:- TOP answer

Honestly, I admire Tony's boldness, but he missed the point. A Formula One car is very safe as well, but the fans admire the danger involved. In NASCAR, obviously no one wants to see a driver hurt, but subconsciously we know that there isn't as much danger as there used to be. It's okay Tony, keep telling yourself that you're allowed to be an a-hole. Dale Sr. would have had a respectful but still hilarious answer.

Are you paying attention? lol Tony's right on the mark! No REAL Nascar fan wants anyone to get hurt. In fact, safety measures have made the sport even better...But this IS racing, isn't it? So, by definition, it's dangerous! The safety measures, like the Safer Barrier, COT (tomorrow or today, take your choice), etc, means that the drivers can race hard and still literally walk away, i.e., JJ's Busch crash into the tire wall, Carl's flip at 'dega...need I say more?

One issue oval racing has is they no longer go faster each year. I remember in the heyday of Indy when Rick Mears was hitting 245mph down the straits then soon after they slowed the cars down at least 20mph or more in the name of safety. I am all in favor of driver safety but fans wanna see cars go faster then they did the year before, not slower. I think this is why oval has become boring,we been watching cars go pretty much the same speed now for ten years or longer.
