Lately, 23XI Racing driver, Kurt Busch, has been suffering from concussion-like symptoms. According to recent reports, he won’t be racing for the 3rd consecutive time as his condition is still not perfect. Amid all of this, fellow driver Kevin Harvick spoke out against NASCAR’s next-gen cars.

Aside from the 2014 cup series champion, many drivers have been outspoken about NASCAR’s new generation of machinery. Harvick, however, specifically said, “I think when you look at the things that happened with the accidents. I think these are the exact concerns that the drivers had from the very first day we saw the car.”

He argues that NASCAR has not made the required changes to reduce the impact encountered by drivers during a crash. He also adds that the G force on impacts feels way different from what it look in terms of numbers. Harvick mentions, “It goes straight through the driver’s body.”

Regardless of what is correct or what is wrong, NASCAR needs to work on the design safety changes along with the feedback from drivers.
