O absolutely, IndyCar did an amazing job developing the SAFER barrier. Also requiring a HANS device and the awesome seats used in NASCAR help a ton. I have seen the IndyCar safety crew in action and they are incredible. Unfortunately I have seen them in action at Vegas where a driver did not survive. But more than once you see the truck pull up to a crashed car before the car has stopped moving. They are even better than F1 in that regard.
