WOW!!!! Thank God he made it through that alive. What a horrible looking crash. Mike is extremely lucky to only have the injuries that he does. A number of other contestants zooming through the carnage. It could have been so much worse.

Hunter-Reay came down to block him passing I think and either Hunter-Reay moved down too late or Conway couldn't react in time. Other words: racing incident.

Ryan Hunter Reay ran out of fuel in front of Conway, he had no where to go.

I saw a couple drivers run out going by me (turn 3) and they pulled on the access lane. Carpenter for one I know ran out.

Well at least someone around here pays attention to what really happened.

Watching the video is amazing on youtube but the still images-they are breathtaking. It's like looking at the Stan Fox (R.I.P.) sequence from years ago, one's mind can't grasp every thing at every moment. So glad this was a testament to safety and technology and not a horrific tragedy on worldwide tv.
