But you could say that about every oval they race on and a number of Road and Street courses too. Anytime you get an Indy Car up fast enough that it can take off and get into a fence you can have a crash similar to what happened to Robert. Look at the Houston crash Dario had at Houston in 2013. Looked a lot like what happened to Robert.
There is always room for change and improvement for safety. We saw how one of these improvements worked with Hinches onboard video Sunday.
