Talk:IRL Driver Dies in Warmups/@comment-101812-20060327133458

The idea that "race fans" root for crashes is really a NASCAR thing. As a longtime open-wheel fan, the contrary is true, because as a rule open-wheel crashes are SIGNIFICANTLY more dangerous than stock car crashes: not just in fatalities, but also in major injuries like broken bones.

This was an awful situation that is a part of the sport. I feel for Dana&quot;s family and for everyone he worked with on the track.
