After watching the video of Sweet's crash, or at least the tail end of it one thing stood out to me.  In the short clip I saw at least 5 drivers jump out of their cars and race to Brad's.  Looked like Darrah spun his car out to avoid crashing into Brad's open cockpit.  Pretty cool watching Darrah, Sides, Gravel all jump out of their cars to get to him.  Saw two other drivers run over but couldn't see who they were.

We all may have our favorites, bash certain guys, whatever, but one thing I know is that while every single one of them risks their lives to race, nearly every single one of them would also risk their life to save a competitor.

many of us love this sport, as a competitor there is nothing worse than seeing another competitor struggle with injury, or worse, thier family and friends morn death.. truth is this could happen to you.  something triggers the body to react to any violent situation that one see's happen directly in front of them, we have all seen wrecks, drivers know when something didnt look typical and thier assistance is a nessessity not a option, many drivers are suited for the worst to happen and honestly can be the quickest to the scene, ( not always but quite frequently possible) anything to assist your competitors in a tradgity is the right thing to do, respect the work of the safety crew, but by all means react thoughfully and nessessary as the situation demands.. great Job guys...  a driver will never forget your courage when thier in a time of desperate need.
