Mike Skinner Must Be Happy About Soft Wall Technology Right Now

OK that was a heck of a wreck that Skinner had during the Camping World Truck Series race Firday night. Skinner hit the wall head on, flipped, then slid down the track a bit before stopping.

I’m just glad, and I can only assume so is he, that he hit in a part of the track that had the ‘soft wall’ technology in place.

Mike Skinner is living proof (pun very much intended) that ‘soft wall’ technolgy works and that it should be inslalled on every square inch of exposed wall at every NASCAR sanctioned track.
