I don't usually watch IndyCar races. If this kind of thing happens a lot maybe I don't want Alonso racing IndyCar. Depends on your definition of "a lot". One this bad happens maybe once every year or two, I'd say.

Racing is racing and shit can always happen - Indy, F1, WEC, NASCAR, Sprint Cars, Midgets, Motocross, Club Racing - if there is a competition shit can happen. I know you're right. I just worry.

IndyCar is allowing Spencer Pigot's team to fix the car, he can restart.

Justin Wilson was killed here a few years ago by flying debris. I don't know what to tell you. IndyCar is one of the more dangerous major racing series. But it's all relative, way less dangerous than in days past.

I think the safety advances that have been made over the last 30 years have made an incident like this harder to take.

I know you're right. I just worry. I worry too. It’s tough to balance that with my love of racing. Having been a race fan since moving to Indiana in 1959 and following the 500 and then getting hooked on F1 when Wide World of Sports televised a segment of the 1961 Monaco GP. I have suffered through the dangerous decades that followed where driver deaths would be measured at half a dozen a year or more. I remember Fireball Roberts getting roasted in NASCAR. In those days one couldn't say safety and racing in the same sentence without everybody that heard the comment doubling over in laughter - gallows humor. Despite it all I am still a fan and have been a competitor in Club Racing for the past 30 years.

Speed trace shows Power did nothing wrong. So, all the ying-yangs behind were the ones who jumped the start.

Hope this was a wake up for everyone, so we don't have this again this race.

Pray for Wickens and hope he doesn't have any serious injuries.
I really wish Indycar start this racing at 11am-12pm EST instead of 1pm-2pm EST... Now the worry is rain or bad light or beyond 6pm EST.

I would have thought NBCSN would have sold and played all their commercial time by now.
