Paul Dana is the one that got hit. Ed Carpenter is the one that ran into the side of him. Those guys are going so fast and are NOT used to having a car sitting in the middle of the track during a warm up session. Hence, Carpenter didn't have enough time to react and just plowed into him. I guess a good analogy would be like you going down the interstate at 70+ MPH, and the car in the lane next to you just all of a sudden spins out right in front of you,...or a car switching into your lane, right in front of your car and slamming on the brakes.

yeah i've only watched this vid once and wont watch it again.its sad..they did say all the other guys stuff went off and track lights.when he first hit the wall the other guy was just getting into turn 3 lil over half way threw the light and stuff came on but it was to late for the other guy to do shit..

kinda reminds me of the wreck in nhra prostock last year.

watching it from the other angles now it kind of makes more sense to me

he was right on the tail of the driver that pulled right to avoid the car, he didn't have enough time to react

like when you are in traffic and the guy in front of you switches lanes and you see there was a stopped car in front of him.

there is always the possibility that his radio headset was down and didn't know what was going on

a sad day

watching danica over in st pete this past weekend i noticed she consistently hesitated thru the first turn where the pit lane empties out on to the track

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
