    I met Franchitti about 20 minutes after this crash in the paddock. Really nice guy and you never would've guessed he had just been in a crash like that

      Though Franchitti’s career ending crash was due to having one massive crash too many and doctors telling him not to go near an IndyCar cockpit again.
      Wheldon’s death was nothing short of horrific, especially as we basically saw his last moments alive from the cockpit just before the massive crash at Vegas.

      She was really good in IndyCar in the late-00s, although with the switch to more road-courses she did fade a bit in 2010 & 2011 (still could have won 3 races those years).

    Still, I think IndyCar needs to come back to Michigan. Some great racing there and I started going every year in 2005 and then was crushed in 2008 when I couldn't go again.

      @kojakbungeebungee 8 лет назад +2

      schumi246 Wrong. The voice was not Dixon's. It was one of the spotters or track/rescue crewmembers. And it was referring to Dixon's head, not Dario's, when Dario's car flipped onto Dixon's.

    • @schumi246
      @schumi246 8 лет назад +2

      +kojakbungeebungee it sure sounds like him from what they are saying. The spotter/crew chief, or whoever asks Scott if he's okay. The same voice that was talking about the hit in the head can be heard answering that he's fine.

      @Leuel48Fan 9 лет назад

      This is one of the rare moments he actually reacted and commentated well, prob because it was an unusual crash that truly surprised him. Usually he's extremely stale and monotone when it comes to on track incidents, making the races seem boring, especially on his NASCAR calls. And he screws up WAYYY too much in the booth (driver names, race info, laps to go, pit calls, etc...) it was no surprise he got fired, he sucks in the booth. Good guy and analyst, but cant do live lap by lap commentary to save his life. His only other "good" call I can remember of the top of my head is when Jr flipped his Nationwide car at Daytona (2010 I think).

    @erasetoimprove The speeds of racing are far too great to EVER take the plates off; on the contrary the plates are FAR better both for the speeds and for the quality of the racing. Going to fuel injectors (which make no sense because they're not better than carbs) will not eliminate restrictor plates at all - the plates are permanent and the system they're using is one that requires the kind of intake that allows restrictor plates.
    230 MPH has NO place in racing. 185 is enough.
