That was a massively consequential wreck for a few reasons. First and foremost, it left Bell, who was fortunately able to climb out of his car, with a broken wrist, though he has been cleared to race this weekend at Pocono. Christopher Bell's crash at Michigan International Speedway was the hardest hit the Next Gen car has ever taken and was the biggest impact in at least a decade.
But it turns out that the impact wasn't just big; a NASCAR executive says it was the biggest hit the Next Gen car — introduced in 2022 — has ever seen, and it's also the hardest impact in a decade. , NASCAR communications executive Mike Forde was on the official"NASCAR Hauler Talk" podcast when he revealed that the hit was the hardest a Next Gen car had ever taken.
"Delta-v is the measure of speed lost in an incident," he explained. "So if you’re going 200 mph and then all of a sudden you come to a stop because you hit a wall and scrub off X amount of speed, that difference is what the Delta-v is. "Forde declined to give out a number, saying that this is essentially"proprietary data," though it is shared with the team and with the driver.
NASCAR also measures the G-forces involved in these incidents, and that was also shared with the team. It is up to them whether they want to release those figures to the public.
