Dan Davis, the head of Ford’s racing division, said he still hasn’t been told what happened in Jerry Nadeau’s crash at Richmond two weeks ago, and he’s calling for a more open investigation, including a complete reconstruction of the accident and a computer analysis of the possible G-forces on Nadeau’s head and body through computer simulation. “What I would like to do with the Nadeau thing – and we have not been involved up ’til now in any great degree – is let’s go analyze what happened,” Davis said yesterday during a tour of NASCAR race shops. ‘Let’s computer-model that situation. “I don’t know how his head hit, I don’t know the actual physics of what occurred. But it would seem to me it would be important to understand the physics of what occurred. I have a vested interest, no matter who the driver is. We will do everything we’re allowed to do, and we will push as hard as we can.”( Winston Salem Journal )(5-16-2003)
