As a direct result of improved safety regulations instituted after that year.

They don't. You're imagining this.

As a result of Saturday's crash, NASCAR will examine what happened to the catch fence and find ways to make improvements. Something went wrong with the tire tether (which is supposed to keep tires from leaving the vehicle) and the catch fence failed. NASCAR will make improvements, guaranteed.

Well, which are you talking about?
