Once again a driver was seriously injured in a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race. NASCAR has tried to make the cars as safe as possible, but in the past several years, injuries to Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, and last week, Aric Almirola, NASCAR racing still remains a very dangerous sport. The construction of the race cars has reduced the severity of the injuries, probably preventing death, but back and leg injuries, and concussions have kept drivers out of races following their injuries.The latest injury occurred last Saturday in Kansas when Almirola piled into a two-car wreck between Joey Logano and Danica Patrick.
