Fans Launch an Assault Against NASCAR After Kyle Busch & Kevin Harvick’s Comments Go Viral: “Failed Again”

Ever since we had that really bad wreck at Daytona under the rain last weekend, many NASCAR drivers, including big guns like Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick along with the fans, and those from inside the sports community have raised their voices for the biggest criticism of the Next Gen car. The criticism being the safety of the new car.

Now, the Next Gen car has proved to be safe in big crashes.

However, it is the smaller incidents that have left several drivers sore and feeling impacts more than they would in the previous generation of cars.

Recently, Busch and Harvick both had some glaring criticism of the new car as NASCAR tried to defend it by mentioning the ‘speed and angle theory’. But despite that, fans were having none of it as many of them called the governing body out in the reactions.

What did Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick say of the Next Gen car?

Kevin Harvick mentioned how the new cars don’t feel the same during a wreck despite the ‘speed and angle theory’ given by NASCAR.

“They are just blunt violent wrecks every time you hit something. They do not feel like they did in the old car,” he said. “It’s like we’ve taken the soft walls down.”

“Every time we hit a car, it feels like hitting a concrete wall.”

Kyle Busch, too, seemed to share Harvick’s opinion as he also rubbished the reasons for the higher impact drivers are bearing.

“I don’t believe that, no way,” the two-time Cup champion said. “I felt it way more than I would’ve in the old car. You can see that because the car crinkles or crushes a little bit but it doesn’t look that bad.”

“The wrecks don’t look as bad because the drivers are carrying the brunt of it, the car isn’t.”
