2/23: Inside of Earnhardt car

CART uses harnesses. F1 uses harnesses. IndyCar uses harnesses. And yes, NASCAR uses harnesses. They very rarely break. There's been some talk that Earnhardt had his mounted in a non-standard way, at his own order -- in which case, there was human failure, and the human responsible has paid for it in full.

Despite the fact that CART and NASCAR cars are both cars, and piston-powered at that, they really are very different designs, as a casual glance will tell you. They're not even made from the same materials. Often they are not racing on the same tracks; in fact, a check of Daytona's website reveals there are no CART events there.
