Why don't they make the cars have a small roof that goes over the drivers head?

That is some of the worst luck I have ever seen in motor sports. I feel for his family right now.

No.

But even if that was the no-brainer correct reaction, they still would not do so.

Really sad. The nose cone of the car that had wrecked came down hit him right in the head. This has to be the straw that forces IRL into closed cockpits, completely avoidable fatality.

they know the risk ... and their courage to accept it must be recognized and admired, to some degree at least ... rip ...

Racing has lost two Gentle Giants in two weeks.

RIP Justin and Buddy.

This is so sad. I don't watch racing but I turned on the TV and had it on NBCSN right as the crash happened and could tel that it was very serious.

I had never seen a racing crash happen live before. Was really hoping he was going to be okay.
