NASCAR Technical Bulletin Update: Roll cage updates coming in 2013
On
Tuesday, Sept. 11,2012 NASCAR issued technical bulletins in both the
Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series that address a safety enhancement to
the driver’s roll cage and will take effect beginning in January, 2013.
The cars in both series will feature an additional forward roof bar
and a center roof support bar that will intersect near the front center
of the roll cage. This addition comes following extensive testing at
the NASCAR R&D Center and is an effort to strengthen the roll cage
and help make it an even safer compartment for the driver.
