The safety these days is incredible, if anyone remembers the 2007 Aaron's 312 at Talladega, when Kyle Busch got turned backwards by Tony Stewart, and barrel-rolled like 5 times in the backstretch grass, well if you have he walked away in a split second, thought he did crack his HANS device during the crash. But my point is that you probably won't see drivers die from crashes these days, the safety of the cars is excellent, cars can flip and tumble, and the drivers are still A-OK.
There are rumors but only Tony and Kurt know for sure.
