He could just as easily hurt himself falling down the stairs at home. Life is a huge ongoing risk, injuries happen.

Wife just brought up an excellent point... Kyle had foot(?) surgery in the off season, wonder if this had an impact on it? Just a thought.

This is a somber household as I'm a Kurt fan and shes a Kyle fan... Shitty 500 for us.

Sounds like they will be adding Safer Barriers around the entire track now

Jenna Fryer just tweeted that they're flying Crafton back to the track to get a seat fitted.

Tire barriers are being installed the impact area as a temporary fix for tomorrow's race, per Chitwood.

Daytona is adding tire barriers to where Kyle Busch had his accident for tomorrow's race.

nvm, fake tweet

Don't get me wrong, Crafton is a great Truck driver, but that was their best option?

Robby Gordon seems like an awful choice. He's never even driven a Gen-6 in any capacity has he? Certainly not at a plate track.

That flat wall just before the road course turn 1 is also unprotected. They should put up temp barriers across that entire road course entry and exit area during oval track races.

This video shows how far we've come, and how little we've progressed all at once.

EDIT:
Please not Matt Crafton...total waste.

Lots of compound fracture talk popping up on Twitter in the last few minutes.

NASCAR is reporting compound fracture. Shit.

That's a season ender.

He's also injured his left foot as well, so yeah, he's done for a while.

Its sad how they spent lots of money developing the SAFER walls and they don't put them around the entire track.

ESPN just confirmed it. What a bummer. His season is shot before it really even began.

And Matt Crafton official for the 500.. no news for after that

That's racing

Not a Kyle fan but this news is terrible. He will be out for a while. His chance for the championship is over before it began. These car owners need to realize that racing in the lower
series is risky. Hope his recovery is fast. I hope this shows that every wall needs to have a safer barrier

Kyle was headed for that wall one time before luckily missed it this time as this woulda been a Ricky Knotts kinda hit. That wall is as dangerous as anything in NASCAR.


As with Dale in 2001, this is going to change NASCAR for the better. Hopefully SAFER walls on every bit of exposed concrete.
