Although SCTA has since beefed up their rules regarding driver head and shoulder support, there are still two takeaways from this video of Danny Thompson's crash.
(1) When Thompson is sitting straightup, the only thing above his head is sheet metal.
(2) Egress can be improved with a longer steering column that allows the driver to sit farther back from the dashboard. This is standard practice in NASCAR.
