Has anyone ever thought that a LOT could be learned from this video? Like Gravel maybe could have pulled off before seizure? Like maybe the flag-man could have thrown the yellow when Gravel was in turn 4? Rutz had absolutely NO time to react and a lot could be learned from this incident.

Here is my thoughts on the video. It took place in a public event.  IT does not show much of anything after the accident. It shows what was happening leading up to the accident. Racers get hurt in racing, that is a fact. That is the fact that up and coming racers have to look at.

The only way I think the video should be removed is if it showed graphic video or of Rutz himself being removed, it does not.

I will end in Get well Travis.

I had kinda forgotten that Gravel caused this wreck (yeah I said it, he did cause it). I like David but I hope he's learned a valuable lesson here. Get well Travis.

It was so great to see Travis at the Gold Cup Race in Edmonton this week... It was the first time he has been to a track since the crash..God bless you Travis,,, You will be our champ foever.. From the fans at Castrol raceway..

I have raced and known Trav for a long time. Trav is a hell of a driver. Im sure the kid who stopped is a pretty good driver too but the fact he didnt pull off or at least get to the bottom of the track is absolutely ridiculous...visibility wasnt great either that amount of dust + smoke = garbage...as a driver you know when yur motor pulls down you know when something is wrong common sense you arent gonna win losing power...Trav is in our prayers still as always. BTP Get well + Fight Hard TR 8R

I know hindsight is 20/20, but come on. David Gravel should have parked that thing in the infied one lap earlier. I originally heard visibility was poor, but that appears not to be the case. Smack dab in the middle of the front stretch is a hell of a place to park a blowed up car. This sucks. Get well soon Travis.

im a old school sprint car fan, that happens to know travis, i dont like seeing wrecks at all. but i wanted to know what happened. travis is clinging to life and others r seriously hurt and you guys want to act likelitttle kids and argue on the computer. grow up both of you. theres other things going on here more important than your feelings about a video. my condolences to travis and his family. we will see you at skagit soon!!!!
