In last weeks race at Pocono NASCAR driver Elliot Sadler hit the inside retaining wall head on at over 180 mph and walked away.
The impact was so brutal it ripped the engine from his car and sent it rolling down the track.
The initial wreck involved the #2 car but Elliot in the #19 car gets caught up and can be seen hitting the wall at 1:40 near the end of the video.
NASCAR has that little black box that records data which they don't release to the public.
However they did announce today that this impact was the hardest ever recorded in NASCAR.
The previous record was Kyle Petty at Bristol with an impact of 80 Gs.
Hate on NASCAR all you want but you have to give them a thumbs up for creating safety measures
that give someone the opportunity to walk away from something like that
