Jimmie Johnson says NASCAR might not be as fortunate next time car gets in catch fence

Jimmie Johnson said NASCAR might not be able to avoid tragedy if a car gets into the catch fence again as it did Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, but he doesn’t see any immediate change that might prevent a repeat incident.

Johnson was asked during a teleconference Tuesday whether too much had been made of Carl Edwards’ crash into the Talladega fence in an incident that left seven people injured from flying debris. The accident occurred when Edwards, trying to block Phoenix Racing’s Brad Keselowski heading to the finish line, spun and got slightly into the air when he was punted by Stewart-Haas Racing’s Ryan Newman.

“If Carl’s car may have been four feet higher and didn’t touch the retaining wall and solely went into the catch fence, it could have been really bad,” Johnson said. “The car could have gone through it or it would have started pulling that car apart a lot like Geoff Bodine’s truck years back [at Daytona]. So the catch fence did its job, but we will hurt a lot of people, if not worse, if cars are in the catch fence.

“We got lucky there.”

The rest of the field was able to avoid the accident as those cars were among the four that broke away from the pack on the final lap.

“Could you imagine if that was a 20-car draft and if Carl was bouncing around like he was and, for that matter, the 39 [of Newman] coming back across the track with no control of steering [after] the hard impact he took?” Johnson said. “Carl’s car could have been hit again and shot up in the air, hit in the door.

“Multiple things could have happened. Luckily they were so far ahead of the pack that he just got in the fence, the car sat down and nobody else hit him again. Hard impacts are not good, but we have a very safe environment for that. But the cars and, even the catch fence for that matter, are designed for one impact. If you get multiple impacts on the car, multiple impacts on that catch fence, we have some big problems.”

The three-time defending Sprint Cup champion said he was surprised Edwards’ Roush Fenway Racing car got so high up in the air.

“It’s pretty rare to see one to get into the catch fence like that,” Johnson said. “It’s one thing for the cars to tip over, and we usually have the wrecks on the back straightaway or in the corners, and one might tip over but nothing gets up in the fence.

“That one surprised me.”

What to do? Johnson isn’t sure anything can be done to the cars or the rules.

“Years back, these big, awesome race tracks were built for speed,” Johnson said. “And in today’s racing, we can’t let the cars run unrestricted. There’s no need to let off the gas, and we all run in huge packs, and the dynamics of the race changes with the bump-drafting, the blocking, the draft in general.

“I didn’t see anybody at fault between Carl and Brad when that thing took place. … I don’t know how we fix it unless we take a bunch of tractors out there and knock down the walls, knock down the banking and make it a track where you have to let off [the throttle].”

Johnson said NASCAR can legislate bump-drafting, but that will only go so far in preventing accidents. Harsh warnings in drivers meetings and penalties won’t deter the drivers when it comes down to [time to] race, Johnson said.

“I don’t think they can control it,” Johnson said. “[NASCAR officials] can make some judgment calls and say that [move] was too aggressive and penalize people, but then they’re going to open themselves up to harsh criticism over making a call or not making a call. … All of them can talk until they’re blue in the face up there [at drivers meetings], but when we get in those cars, we’re going to race and try to get the position.

“That’s what we do. Regardless of the ass-chewing before we pull on track, you’re going to do what you have to do to win. And I just don’t see an easy solution, especially as we get more familiar with the cars. We understand how to work the draft better; we understand where and we can’t bump-draft, how aggressive we can be.”

Bump-drafting is just the nature of restrictor-plate racing right now, he said.

“[They] try to threaten us as far as aggressive driving,” Johnson said. “It’s kind of funny they say [in drivers meetings] the aggressive driving zone is all the way around the track, and we all laugh whenever they say it each week at those plate races because what are we supposed to do? Just kind of ride?

“It’s really a product of the track. The drivers’ opinion is we need to get rid of those things or make them more like Daytona where you actually have to lift at some point so you can get out of [having] those big wads of cars.”

    I have said it before and I will say it again.The ONLY thing that needs to be done at this track to make the race safer and less controversial is move the finish line to where it is at EVERY other oval track!

    Look at the tape of the last race. The accident began after they had crossed the spot where the traditional finish line would be.

    There would have been just a close finish not a devastating accident.

    The same with the prior race.Smith would have came in 2nd to Stewart in a close race.

    Both times the racer on the outside is not as much turning into the inside car but is adjusting his line to the dogleg in the middle of the front stretch.

    They can't hold their position because the track has a bend in it at a critical point!

    A couple of gallons of black and white paint would solve the problem and the racing would stay the same!

    How simple this solution is and not one racing commentator/expert has even seen it or mentioned it.

    Tim, no one else has said anything because you are simply wrong. Repeating yourself over and over again won't make what you say anymore correct (because it isn't). Claiming the race would have been safer by viewing the finish then magically 'moving' the start/finish line assumes the drivers would drive exactly the same. That is a poor assumption. They will simply make their move sooner to make the pass.

    I agree with Jimmie and Carl that NASCAR got lucky and people could have died, but the cause of this accident (the yellow line rule) is just one of a thousand different ways this could happen during a 500 mile race. This will always be a possibility when cars are going 200mph. So if the concern is for the fans, the only options I see working would be moving the fans back, or building a catch fence straight out of Jurassic Park.

    There wasn't much else Jimmie could say. It is dangerous when a car gets up into that fence.It's mainly there to stop debris not a car. It's certainly not just a NASCAR thing. It happens in open wheel also. Not many times for either but it's something to consider when a fence becomes the last defence against what could have been death for a lot of people if it had gone thru.

    I am not a Chad & Jimmy fan but, what Jimmy said is right on the money. The people that belly ache about Carl sitting back most of the race, Jimmy & Jeff have done the same thing. Its smart thinking you have time to get around the wrecks and have a good areodynamic car at the end when it counts.Keep this type of racing going and you are going to see more drivers doing this.

Don't let your fellow teammates handle the front lines for 3 hours and then try to "hotdog" it in the end like Carl has tried to do -- and failed -- his last 2 races at Talladega.

    Johnson, having handling get in the way of passing IS NOT RACING; we all know this. Drivers whine about not lifting at Talladega - lifting is never racing. At the tracks where handling gets in the way of racing, the danger level has proven to be greater becasue we've lost drivers the last two decades away from the plate tracks; it's not the plate races where people are dying, but we get lulled to sleep because the lethality on the smaller tracks cycles around. Johnson needs to man up and grow up.

    So Bonnie when Jimmie Johnson hung back last year and got a top ten finish he should have stayed home? Tony Stewart hung back on Sunday didn't work out for him he also should have stayed home? Kinda of unrealistic isn't it? :-)

    I assume by "Hot Dogging" it you mean when Brad K. and Carl E bumped drafted to lead the that was "Hot Dogging" it? Again so a driver going for a win is a bad thing? OK I'm totally confused!

    Sorry but I think you might have a flaw in your logic... :-)

    I had never stopped and thought about what might have happened if a pack had propelled Edwards over the catch fence. Obviously, Jimmie did. I didn't hear, see or read anyone 'whining' about the race and what unfolded. We'd all love to have the winning answer and have NASCAR say 'Hey, great idea, let's do that!' We all know how NASCAR reacts (or doesn't) in various situations, they are a law unto themselves... and I don't think they listen much to any of their fans, drivers or car owners!

The only thing cowardly or whiney are those comments that attempt to question the character or courage of the drivers in this sport who put their lives on the line to race and entertain us.

    It sounds like some people on here aren't too concerned about fan safety.

    How dare the drivers even look out for us and want us to be safe at the track (eye rolling).

    I mean the drivers, caring about fans? OMG what crybabies. Sheesh, I mean we go there to get injured (possibly killed), so like let us get hurt, would ya? (note: that was supposed to be sarcastic)

    Hey #2 how would you like the race car to land on you, seriously injure you (maybe paralyze you) and prevent you from working or taking care of your family? My response to you would be to "shut up, jason carlson and just work, who cares if you're unable to even care for yourself".

    You wouldn't like that, now would you?

    #9; how would you feel if I cheered some driver on the freeway to take you out cause you annoyed me, and you were killed? Who cares, right? I didn't know you, wasn't like you meant anything to anyone.

    That'd be called murder, or close to it.

    Shouldn't the lady with the broken jaw who got injured as a result just "man or woman up"? I mean so what her face hurts, big deal, go home and put an icebag on it. Too bad your jaw is broken, it's not like you need medical attention. Im sure that's what #17 would do if his jaw were broken; he'd "man up".

    It's a different deal when it happens to someone else.

    It's easy to wish bad on someone, unless it's coming back at you.

    NOTICE: MY SYMPATHIES AND PRAYERS TO THOSE FANS WHO WERE INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. I HOPE YOU ALL RECOVER QUICKLY AND DO NOT SUFFER ANY LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS.

    JJ always says whatever makes him look good.(not possible in my opinion)..he is the first one who whinned "Racin here sux".....yes, he was whinning. He only voiced the comments about safety because he is gonna jump on anything that gives him some attention. As for the fans safety.....a REAL fan knows the dangers involved..I have sat on those front grandstand rows at Dega...I knew there was danger...so if fans are dumb enough to sit there without knowledge of the danger involved in their situation...they shouldn't be there in the first place. The catch fence did it's job...if everyone keeps on whinning the sport will be obsolete and it will never be exciting. Maybe take a few of the rows out that are so near the fence....they do that at Nashville for the Indy races.....no one bellyaches about that. Problem solved without making more dumb sissy rules.

    I too have sat in one 1 & row 2 seats. I know there is a danger of being injured or killed. If there is something NASCAR can do to REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD, then they should do something. Perhaps in their own way, Carl & Jimmie are trying to say that. Not everyone of us are articulate and Phd's when it comes to saying something. If it's pushing the seats back (by removing some rows) then that would be an action. Perhaps they could work on the COT design to keep it down on the ground. ALSO JIMMIE STATED THE CATCH FENCE DID IT'S JOB. FROM HIS WORDS AND STATEMENT, IT WASN'T WHINING. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IN THE ARTICLE CONSTITUTED WHINING? HE WAS ASKED HIS OPINION, HE GAVE IT. What was he supposed to say when asked for a comment? "Fans don't like me to comment cause they think it's whining. Can I have a Pepsi?" I think some of you either don't know what whining actually is, or you are stuck on that word and can't think of anything else to say.

    I agree with you all the way Marie. SOME of the poeple who are actually the ones doing the whining, can't even spell the word. The word is whine, whining or whined. NOT whinning or whinned. Pull the "h" out and your have winning. It really gets frustrating trying to figure out all these posts when they can't even speak english. And I DO read everyone of them. - - - #13, I agree with you too. HOW MANY of the real whiners on here have even driven a stockcar??? How many? I raced for nine years, and I always said: "They should MAKE each and every fan HAVE to race at least one lap in a stockcar. Then see how smart and tough they are. - - - Oh, yes, I am not exactly a JJ fan, but I gave his article a 5.0 rating. How did the rest of you rate it???

    Jimmie, boy, you are so hot!! Mm, mm, mm!!! Uh... anyway, IMO, the real problem is, as usual, Nascar's inconsistencies--they need to make bump-drafting illegal! They can't implement the plates and slow the drivers down then booger around while the drivers do whatever they can to recreate the kind of speed that the plates are intended to stop, the kind that sends knuckleheads like Edwards into the fans' laps!! An alternative to restrictor plates would be great but until they find one, Nascar should back them the heck up.

    Historical note: LeMans 1955. Car went off the track, killed 80, injured another 80. Racing was suspended throughout Europe for part of the season. If this happens here, NASCAR's insurance will be gone in a flash, hence....NO RACING. I imagine that the insurance companies had some advice to ISC on Monday.

    One needs to consider the source of put-downs and character slurs. What's the motive and does that person "have any skin in the game"? NASCAR.com has post-race videos of three of the drivers from Sunday's race, all indicating that something's wrong (cars behaving like aircraft) or that something should be done (fan safety). Those clips speak to the point and with significantly more credibility than 95% of the "man up", "whiner", "shut up and drive" and "skip it" comments on blogs like this. Continue with the macho BS all you want, the rest of us are considering the source. PS Can anyone make any sense out of what Daly is trying to convey?

    I wish they would take out Talladega and replace it with two more Daytonas. I love racing it on the video game, but in real life, people get hurt really bad at Talladega and I don't like it. I wish Kasey Kahne could get a win here, but some idiot (like #17 and #26) keep causing crashes and taking him out. Seven laps in to it Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne, and AJ Allmendinger, drivers of whom I am a fan of were taken out. I wish Matt Kenseth would have gotten taken out, like Jamie McMurray, instead of Kyle Busch going a lap down, I was hoping either Reed, Kyle, or Elliott Sadler, or maybe even Dale Jr. would have been there to win, but hey Brad's a good guy, and this could boost his reputation. Good thing Carl didn't win or I'd have a heart attack. Yes I hate FORDS, with the acception of #6, and the newly turned Ford #96 of Bobby Labonte. I'd like him even if he drove the #99 car, which is the car I despise the most right now. But i am off subject. Either fix it or remove it from the race list.

    As far as Jimmie thinking he is somebody--a little note--he is somebody. He matters to certain people, perhaps his family, friends & his fans? #38 you don't matter to me, so I could tell you to shut up cause you're nobody and I don't want to read your posts--but, you have freedom of speech. Just because you're a nobody to me doesn't mean that you're not a somebody to your family. It is amazing how some people on this thread think they have a born right to their comments, but somehow Jimmie isn't granted the same rights. He was born here in the U.S and has the same rights we do. Funny how some forget that while defending their right to their "opinions or thoughts". How are you better then him? You're not. You don't want him to have his opinion--don't express yours. It is not freedom for some, it is freedom for all.

What in that sentence is difficult to comprehend? HE WAS ASKED....SOMEONE ASKED HIM. He answered. I guess some people were not taught manners, cause when I am asked a question....I give an answer. Awful rude to ignore someone's question. Just a little observation.

You want him to shut up, perhaps someone else wants you to shut up. There is a big difference between disagreeing with someone and trying to abridge or attempt to abridge their rights. You wouldn't like it done to you. That is called respect. Something that is also in short supply around here.

    Bob, what in the article constitutes "crying"? Jimmie was asked a question and he answered it. "So the catch fence did its job, but we will hurt a lot of people, if not worse, if cars are in the catch fence." If a car goes into the fence, it will hurt the fans. If you don't like Jimmie or what he has to ay, why click on the article to complain? Because it's your right? He has a right to his opinion, same as you, you don't like what he has say, don't read articles on him. Besides, Bob, I don't recall seeing your name in the list of champions. Have you won 3x in a row; have you won 7 championships, have you even raced the Sprint (Nextel/Winston) Cup Series? Until you do or have, I don't think you should be commenting. It isn't so nice when the shoe is on the other foot.

I just can not stand people who can not think before they comment. I also have a problem with people commenting on something they don't like. If you don't like it, why take your time to click on the article and read it? That makes absolutely no sense. And, I have a big problem with people wishing ill will on someone. You don't like someone that is fine, but wishing harm on them goes to an extreme and says something about their character. Especially when bad things can happen to them or those they love as a result of "karma". Remember the old saying "what goes around, comes around"? Doesn't just apply in racing.

    I think all the racers have reason to voice their concerns. They want to drive, it's thier passion, so they do it. But they all have a right to want safer racing. It was crazy circumstances they got Carl into the fence. I don't think going to an extreme of getting rid of the track is needed. I personally love the racing at Talladega and would be disappointed if they slowed them down or if they changed the track. Theres danger in anything we all do. Freaking out over the "what ifs" will only hamper the sport...not bring it back up. Personally I think they should get rid of the lower seats. The car kept Ryan Newman and Carl Edwards safe and completely unharmed. Everything worked. Everyone is alive. Get rid of lower seats...and lets enjoy the racing people!!!!!!!
