Texas IndyCar Race Weekend Wrap Up

Thoughts, prayers and “thank goodness-es” for Simona de Silvestro after a horrible wreck experience at Texas.

Racer David Richert offers some perspective in a Winnepeg Free Press guest column. (Yes, I guess we have to depend on the Canadians to cut through the fog.)

Saturday night played host to the Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway as Indy Car brought its show into town. What wasn’t on the program though was the ineptness of the Indy Car safety crew in response to a stricken driven in urgent need.

Watching the video, it’s hard to argue with David’s assessment:

Simona commented after the race that her main concern was for her father. “I thought he was going to have a heart attack.”

Didn’t she also have a close call in Mike Conway’s wreck at Indy? Scary.

Good Texas race weekend news after the jump!
