For some reason the white car did'nt hold his line and the other car had nowhere to go. I'd say its a unfortunate racing deal. I hope the driver was ok???

Looks like a racing deal. White car did not appear to hold his line, but the black car should have had time to lift.

the car running the top had plenty of time to get out of the throttle and make an adjustment....the white car got a hell of a run coming off 2 and got into 3 a lot better than the car running the top....black car lifts...makes same move at other end of track and the car is still in one piece....

IMO, the white car definitely drifted up into the other car's line. But, since he did it so gradually, the other driver should have had time to see it happening in front of him and should have been able to avoid being crashed. That's why I would classify it as a racing deal, with the white car being slightly more at fault than the car that flipped. But like the Scheurenberg-Ballou incident @ Kokomo proved, it could look totally different from another angle.

Racing deal IMO. White car was throwing slider and looked to have it cleared. Black car got a run and thought white car was staying low I bet. So yea.... racing deal. If I was the black car i would anticipate white car coming up and would have slowed to get a run off the corner and return the favor.
Easy to say tho when I am "riding the pine" right?

To me it doesn't matter if it's lap 1 or the middle of the race or the white flag lap the black car should have used his left foot and tapped the brake and carried on. That was a big time slider and the black car would have had plenty of time to make an attempt to pass again by just going underneath.
