They showed a quick shot of her crew and you could tell they were mad at how long it took to get her out. Surly the IRL will use this for training for future fires. They really looked lost on this one!!

Simona called me today to get another helmet ready and she still wasn't too wigged out about it. She's seen the tape over and over. She said the problem was they were trying to pull her sideways to get her out of the car. The body doesn't bend that way. With the design of the cockpit, they needed to pull her UP and then forward, not side ways, she said her feet were still stuck in the pedal area..... knees held up on the steering shaft. She said she was more worried about them breaking her foot than the fire. She said she never felt any heat until she put her hand down on the edge of the head surround to push herself up. So kudos to good safety equipment.....a Bell GP2 helmet and a new Speed Race Wear uniform! This girl rocks.
