MTCanucksFan ::: Favorites Those head injuries that Stanley Smith suffered were very serious. That was just amazing that he survived and got to race again. Can't believe that Jimmy Horton walked away from that wreck, but that crash prompted the track to install catch fencing all the way around the track. 07-06-29 16:17:49 _____________________________________________________
itsalleternal ::: Favorites Definitely; it is a miracle he survived that...the way he was hit before the wall contact was also reminiscent of Earnhardt's crash as well. 07-06-29 22:46:56 _____________________________________________________
DC322 ::: Favorites Jimmy Horton's car went out of the track and down the hill landed right side up. Jimmy walked away from the accident. Now Talladega has the catch fence around the track so no car will fly out if the crash occurs. 07-06-29 23:04:19 _____________________________________________________
SKracing ::: Favorites From a 2001 article about Smith: "...Smith's car slammed head-first into the concrete retainer. His skull was crushed and a major artery was severed in his neck. ''I almost didn't make it,'' Smith recalls. ''They gave me nine units of blood on the way to the hospital. They managed to put my skull back together, but I lost the use of my left eye. I can see a little bit out of it, but I can't move it and at times I have double-vision.'"...Smith admitted his left eye sometimes presents problems." 07-07-01 21:53:22 _____________________________________________________
