Didn't really look like he had a hard hit. The car wasn't all that bad...

With those famous Hendrick/LaJoie seats, a HANS, and a top of the line helmet, I can't imagine a hit like that giving someone a concussion. ...unless of course something wasn't working as it should. |

All those devices are great for neck injuries. But they still can't prevent the brain from hitting the side of the skull and bouncing around in the cerebral fluid. Boxer's syndrome. And if he gets a couple more whacks he could be out for good. (aka hockey players)

Here's the Jr. footage... there wasn't anything even close to a hard hit from what I can see.

I understand concussions... I just don't see a hit that should have caused one in this case. Obviously there is more than meets the eye. |

I would like to see the data from Jr's crash to see what the impacts actually were. Looks can be decieving. Numbers don't lie. Too bad NASCAR won't release it... |
