Soon, countless fans unleashed their fury upon NASCAR for providing “faulty” components to teams, further fueling the ongoing debate over the reliability of parts installed on Next-Gen cars. This controversy is far from new.

Just last year, Kevin Harvick experienced a similar harrowing moment. This was when his car burst into flames, despite having insulation materials in place. At the time, Harvick vehemently called for NASCAR to address the issue swiftly and effectively.

“Idk, what do you think might happen if a car going at least 115-130 were to hit that drivers side. One fail and he’s at least severely injured.”

Subsequently, NASCAR claimed to have resolved most of the reported problems for the current season. However, Larson’s recent calamitous wreck reignited the concerns and suspicions surrounding the safety of Next-Gen cars.

“The only thing that worries me more is that was a restart… they weren’t even up to speed and that happened”
“Pretty sure it’s still not supposed to bend that way. As an outside observer, seeing that would make me question the integrity of the whole cage Even if there is extra reinforcement on the driver side”

As the inquiries progress, racing aficionados and insiders alike grapple with doubts regarding the sufficiency of prior fixes. Simultaneously, they contemplate the future of safety in this high-stakes sport.
