Trucks are safer
i think the trucks in the truck series are safer than the cars because in a crash at Gateway in 2004 the driver was able to stand up inside the truck so that makes the argument the trucks are safer

yeah... no argument.... just think anything that moves about 200 mph is kinda hairy at times...

If you pull the sheetmetal off a Cup car, Busch car and a Craftsman series Truck, unless you very familiar with them or have a rule book and tape measure handy you cant tell them apart. Even the new COT car is extremely similar without its sheetmetal.
Almost all serious accidents are a result of the angle of impact and degree of decelleration ( g-load ) of the driver.
I agree with ya BigE 200 mph has got to be Hairy no matter what your in.
