Wonder what regulations this will bring on they already have the fences
Pretty bad incident but imagine if it happened in the 70s there would be dead people everywhere

Just shows that motorsport is still dangerous for both participants and spectators.

Yeah it was a bad crash for the spectators! I was surprised though that NASCAR got the footage removed from youtube stating copyright laws but Youtube ended up re-instating the footage - so they should.

The sad part for me and what has peen parodied quite well by the Simpsons is that the spectators are wishing for the crash and excited when it happens. I don't understand the mentality of seeing a crash where the potential for serious injury and death is exciting. Have been to a race track during a number of large incidents and feel anxious when an incident like that occurs.
