NASCAR Technical Bulletin Update: Roll cage updates coming in 2013

On Tuesday, Sept. 11, NASCAR issued technical bulletins in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series that address a safety enhancement to the driver’s roll cage and will take effect beginning in January, 2013. The cars in both series will feature an additional forward roof bar and a center roof support bar that will intersect near the front center of the roll cage. This addition comes following extensive testing at the NASCAR R&D Center and is an effort to strengthen the roll cage and help make it an even safer compartment for the driver.
