re: NASCAR driver Jason Leffler killed in sprint car accident

I'm curious to what injuries he sustained in the crash that lead to his passing. I've seen pictures of the wrecked car and the cage seems to have held up fine and retained it's shape and the wing crumpled as it was supposed to do.
He was wearing a head and neck restraint as well. The only thing I can think of is that during the wreck maybe his head hit the track or wall during the accident. (which has happened before in open wheel sprint cars)

RIP Jason Leffler...I never got the chance to meet him personally but I've talked to many people who were around the dirt scene while he was coming up through USAC and he was very well thought of and loved. He did regular weekly interviews with Sirius NASCAR Radio and since his son was born that was the main passion in his life....he loved his son so much, I really pray for Charlie and his family going through such tough times.
I'm curious if maybe he had a health issue to begin with, they said he hit the wall head on when a part failed but were investigating...I can remember a few deaths in the 90's and early 2000's in the Northeast LA area dirt tracks where drivers died in wrecks but were due to health issues that caused the crash. Tough man...really sad.
