Yes, this has been discussed before.

In 1994, when we lost Ayrton Senna in a tragic crash, Formula 1 redesigned their tracks, and safety was of prime concern. But back in the 1980's and earlier, deaths were common. Jackie Stewart said that he stood a 1 in 4 chance he would be killed if he continued to race. Not very good odds.

All race orgs have gone thru changes. If there was a statistical view of each based on safety upgrades I bet the odds of each would be within the margin of error. 150+ to 0 in under a second is death regardless.

LOL!

Harvick runs top 5 unless he breaks or wrecks.
Busch runs top 10 until he breaks or wrecks.
Tony, Tony is a mystery this year. Many drivers lost a little aggressiveness after a serious wreck, I hope that's not the case with Tony.
Danica runs mid 20's with a great consistency. We know her equipment is top notch, so I suspect that's the limit of her talent in a stock car.

I think Mike or Kenny Wallace or even Joe "Needmorecheck" would be a consistent top 15 finisher with the same equipment.

Well, if she can finish where she starts (35th), mission accomplished...

With FORD, Castrol, etc. pulling out of Sponsorship of John Force (Drag) Racing and "Going Elsewhere" there may be more surprise $$$ available for "new customer alignments" in NASCAR Ex: Petty - again - w FORD, etc. after DODGE pullout... IIRC - Tony Drove w Toyota BF, so "never say never" IMO.
