Yeah I forgot about that. They should of made changes after Steve Park and Dale Jr. crash in 2002.

Wasn't that when they added the dirt behind the walls?

It would, but there'd inevitably be whining that he didn't win a proper race.

What people don't realize is that with the exception of two races every year, Pocono is a club racing track. They don't run test sessions for any other series, they haven't raced a professional series that isn't NASCAR since the early 90's, and the SCCA and NASA run club races there on a pretty regular basis. The cars that run there are not designed to professional standards like NASCAR cars. The SCCA, I think, had a driver killed at Pocono about 10 years ago after a hit into concrete. As far as they're concerned, armco is a Godsend to absorb the energy of the impact, as simply put, club racing cars aren't designed to withstand those sorts of impacts. People freaked out when Park flipped in 2002 because the armco collapsed and sent allowed the car to dig in... So they filled it in with earth and people made a big deal about Jeff Green's crash because the armco didn't give. Now people are making a big deal because the car hit a wall that's angled to protect corner marshals and emergency vehicles every other weekend during the year, and didn't give because it was filled in with earth, just like NASCAR wanted after Park's flip.

I guess now that the SAFER Barrier is becoming more common, they'll be able to either put the barrier in front of the armco or replace it with concrete and add the SAFER in front of that. You can't compromise the safety of the cars that aren't professionally built in favor of making it "feel better" for cars that are meant to take the impacts.
