@GoldSilverLead

depends on who your talking to. i race wingless sprint cars and those are very dangerous but i do it because its my passion. i know i can die from it and so do they at indy. most of them would probably die to live there passion.

Isn't Gary Bettenhausen is Tony Bettenhausen son?

@AndrewWang1234

Tony Sr (killed in an Indy crash) son, Tony Jr (killed a plane crash) is his brother.

[NicksEvilTwin1]

@AndrewWang1234 yes

Mario said Jeff hit at about 47G's which is right below the threshold of internal injuries being done! Mario said he was at the hospital when all this commotion started,and they said another driver got hurt real bad at Indy! Mario didn't know it was his own son until the doctors came in later and told him!

Looks like he lost the right rear tire which caused the crash?

[RNCoyote]

Yep

[Fekmann]

One of the scariest crashes I've seen. In slow motion you can see that the chassis collapses all the way to the dashboard. It's amazing that he can still walk.

Same thing would have happened to Vitor Meira last weekend if it weren't for all the improvements in safety

@Fekmann This crash took place only 10 years after Gordon Smiley's horrific wreck. That was pretty good safety development over that decade. Obviously, cars are even safer now. Racing is cool, but it certainly isn't worth your life.
