Corey LaJoie's recent crash at the Michigan International Speedway has reignited discussions about the safety of NASCAR's Next-Gen cars. LaJoie's car flipped upside down after making contact with Noah Gragson, but he fortunately escaped unharmed. Veteran driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. downplayed the incident, comparing it to historical crashes, while also addressing the ongoing safety concerns related to the Next-Gen cars on his podcast. Kevin Harvick expressed his worries about the car's design after witnessing LaJoie's flip, questioning the effectiveness of the safety features intended to prevent such accidents. NASCAR has responded by mandating a new Right Side Rear Window Air Deflector in an effort to enhance car stability during spins. The incident has highlighted the delicate balance between speed and safety in the sport, as well as the need for continuous improvements in car design.
