Many racers have died throughout the years due to violent crashes that take place almost every race.<\/p>\n<p>In order to keep the drivers of these super fast cars as safe as possible, Nascar manufacturers such as Toyota and Ford are developing new technologies that will protect drivers in almost any accident.<\/p>\n<p>One of the very important parts of the Nascar is the windshield. The windshield encompass a very large portion of the Nascar, and could be the determining factor of life and death in a serious Nascar crash. In a race many object become airborne and hit the windshields. Objects such as tires, rocks and other parts of the competing vehicles may come at very rapid speeds and it is the windshields job to prevent these objects from hitting the driver.<\/p>\n<p>If you need auto glass replacement services in Brampton click: <a href=\"https:\/\/autoglasswizard.ca\/brampton\/\">Auto Glass Replacement Brampton<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you need windshield replacement services in Oakville click: <a href=\"https:\/\/autoglasswizard.ca\/oakville\/\">Auto Glass Replacement Oakville<\/a> In order for the windshield to prevent such large, fast moving objects from destroying the windshield and injuring the driver the windshield has to be able to absorb the hit. The Nascar windshield is made from a material called Lexan, which is a poly-carbonate material. This durable material is used in many of today\u2019s army helicopters and airplanes. Lexan is a soft material and therefore when an object hits a Lexan windshield the windshield does not shatter but instead the object becomes embedded into the windshield. If the windshield of the Nascar was not made of this soft type material, but instead was regular auto glass, the Nascar windshield would shatter and injure the driver.<\/p>\n<p>One major drawback of Nascar windshields is that after each race they are damaged, since even small pebbles get stuck. In order to cut costs some Nascar teams apply an adhesive film to the windshield and after every race they replace it with a new one, unless the windshield must be replaced due to extreme damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the worlds most dangerous sports is believed by many to be Nascar racing.
