Driving a NASCAR must be safer than golf.
Jimmie Johnson must have driven something like upwards of 10,000 laps in his car this season at anything from 150-200 mph without getting hurt. Apparently after a bit of horse-play on a golf cart at a charity day this week, he fell off it and has broken his wrist. He won't be able to drive for about 4 weeks. So like I said - driving a NASCAR must be safer than golf!!!! Mind you, I suspect that Greg Biffle might argue the point after his dislocated shoulder last week in his crash testing at Las Vegas.
Anyway, we can at least say that playing golf is no safer than driving a NASCAR - the stats prove it now, even if the sample size is a bit suspect - try that on your local insurance company next time.
