Terrible.

But not surprising with sprint cars. Those are so dangerous. Can go so fast, one little bump is all it takes.

yeah - the driver cage is all open, pieces and parts and arms and legs go flopping in them wrecks as they go tumbling

There was a driver at the track I go to who was severely burned last year in a sprint car.

I like watching the late models - they go around the dirt pretty good

Dirt track races are definitely more fun to watch than anything else.
