Could the owners be profiting or just staying in business because — “less cautions” impact their bottom line.

Mega thousands of dollars to repair costs one of these sheet metal works of art.
Reduced TV time and sponsor plugs.
Less purse and points $$$$$.$$
All other expenses related to stuffing it in the wall.
Reprocussions from other owners who’s cars were involved and must deal with all the above.
Driver repeat offenders losing their big dollar dream job.
Water bottle toss out the window could lead to a mega mess (Expense) on the restart.

Just trying to look outside the box.

The way the economy is right now, nobody can afford to start a race team. Large teams like Hendrick aren’t going to take a chance on a driver that they aren’t sure about. I also think todays drivers are a little too “soft”.

Tony Stewart called Ragan a dart without feathers.

I remember Kyle Busch crashing in a lot of the earlier races while showing great speed. And the TV commentators were saying that when he learned how to finish the races, he’d be a factor.

Carl Edwards used to be involved in a lot more crashes. Even ole “5 time”.

Diandra, your theory seems to fit well.
