What is the death to crash ratio in NASCAR?
I don't have that ratio, but there hasn't been a death in over 6 million miles raced, and there has been a ton of wrecks.
NHRA figured the speeds were high enough, coupled with the short run-outs, or outdated tracks, NHRA figured it would give the cars more distance to slow down, this was implemented after the death of Scott Kalitta.
