Team earns trophy for SAFER wall
UNL and the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility recently received the Bill France Award of Excellence. The award was given to Dean Sicking and his team for their work on the SAFER barrier system, which has been installed in racetracks around the world. The barrier system works as an energy absorber, dissipating the impact energy of a crash and distributing it over a longer distance of the wall without propelling the vehicle back into high-speed traffic. The award, which is given at the discretion of Bill France Jr., former president of NASCAR, has been presented just three times in seven years.
