Lets face it.... American racing on a oval track isnt very exciting in itself. What people pay to see is exactly this. The spectacular crashes. Without them, these events would draw very few spectators.
I can't stand it when people say this is so easy to do and Americans are stupid for liking it. Just think about it, they're going about 215mph+ in cars that weigh almost nothing side to side with 30 other drivers. That sounds challenging and also interesting to watch. If Americans enjoy the crashes so much then there wouldn't be these videos. Grow up and show some respect for people who race cars and have died doing it.
@IMTOOl3EAST that's what makes it UNNECESSARILY dangerous, driving virtually flat out the whole damn race while being very close to each other. key word there is unnecessary danger. of course motor racing would always be dangerous, but it shouldn't also be stupidly dangerous. oval + high speeds + high number of cars is just that.
its always sad when peaople are dying that way, but anyway i can't feel sympaty because this is waht american people want to see. They want to see big crashes. And for me its idiotic to drive in a cyrcle with less safety. If they crash they alway have a bad card. So it goes on and next year antoher driver dies and everybody is crying. Pure Idiotism
@ElAreira83 maybe you should realize that he enjoyed racing and you should grow up become a little more mature and respect the man not bash him. send me an invite to your funeral i'll piss all over you. RIP dan weldon :(
So what sport do you watch? Golf? Every sport has dangers, the players know all of them. Are you scared to leave your cave to go to school? It's pretty dangerous out in the world. You might get caught in the crossfire of a gang war, or maybe stabbed while getting mugged walking to your friends. I hear there has been a rise in drunk driving too. So many ways to die, least he went out doing what he loved.
Go die in some dark corner sulking in your own pathetic life.
Anyway...I'm right. That is fact. So abuse someone else but not me. The most idiotic thing is, that you are comparing golf an indycar! Think about it!
@ElAreira83 I fail to see what you are talking about. Both Indy and Nascar have both taken big big steps to improve safety. Yes, people die still. its racing. They are going to. But you can't blame Indy and Nascar for it, or american's for that matter, what about the motoGP guy who died this morning? hmmm? He died in Malaysia! Not in america. No, not all tracks for Indy and Nascar are circles. Both have road courses like F1 and any other type of racing. Check your facts before you go commenting.
@mdjuricic Fans of the sport love the excitement of side by side racing and to see who wins. Fans dont watch for crashes, and telling by your english, you would never understand. Its not stupid, is a way of life that many people enjoy including Dan Wheldon, with out racing, him and many other people wouldn't have had such an enjoyable life.
Absolute stupidity racing 36 cars on a high banked 1.5 mile oval. The organisers should be charged with manslaughter the dumb fucks. And I agree 100% with wllprkr below
RANDY BERNARD....you dumb ass mother fucker, this is on you. You could have cut the field down, and choose not to. Sleep well you dumb ass mother fucker

@Janusha , oval racing can be very exciting, not for the crashes, but the speed and the close racing.
You just need to get to know the drivers and have a favorite.
