first of all dale sr did not install his own belts, but he did mandate how they were done. his shoulder belts were mounted on the floor came all the way up to a bar thru his seat then back down to the five point lock. belts stretch on ave 20% of total length in use,one does the math and adds in a cut left lap belt it is easier to understand what happened. mobil one as for your argument about the number of cars for the cot,rcr did use the same car at dega and bristol. any safety item will not perform up to par if is not used correct. it is well documented that bill simpson had told dale sr more than once not to route his belts as he did.

I wouldn't think so. Bill Davis Trucking is a totally separate business from BDR. I don't know the details, but the lawsuit is against the trucking company.
Nevertheless, I am hating this for Dave, sure a lot of unknowns all of a sudden, just when they look like they are headed in the right direction. 😮
Here is the last I have read.
HIGH POINT, N.C. (October 30, 2007) – Bill Davis Trucking, Inc., founded in 1975 by Bill and Gail Davis, announced today it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Today’s action was necessitated by an injury accident and an ensuing lawsuit against the company, based in Batesville, Arkansas.
“This has been a very unfortunate chain of events and Gail and I certainly hate that it ever had to happen,” stated Bill Davis. “Bill Davis Trucking and Bill Davis Racing are two completely separate entities and the race team will in no way be affected by today’s announcement.”
