Let's not forget the Probation he received for "Avoidable Contact" a punishment that hasn't be dealt out to anyone since.

Hi folks, I watched the race from sleepy old New Zealand and thought I'd throw 2 cents in. The incident that happened wasn't an isolated incident in fact the same exact thing happened between Windom and JG just a couple months ago at Terre Haute and the reaction was far different than what I saw on flo. Different drivers and not sprint week yes, but same or similar circumstances. A huge part of why I and a lot of other fans here tune in and watch is for the intensity borne out competing for USAC wins in any division, it's a large part of what makes winning even one so special. Whatever happens in future I hope that the status quo remains in terms of letting the drivers show their emotion after a win or a disappointment as it incites passion. Fans included. Already excited for Bloomington tonight hope it's another classic.

Can these guys see another car in their "blind spot" as well as they could before full containment, HANS and the billboard on the right side of the car? It seems like they don't have much peripheral vision left.

Although I'm only a mini sprint running a midget chassis, I have a Maxim arm guard on and decent sized side visor. I don't notice much of a difference compared to when the right side was a lot more open. Except it blocks a lot more dirt hitting you, the sun and the bright track lights, having it more closed off. Also most containment seats the helmet visor is usually above the right side head rest.
