"...came into the pits and hit Charles (Chuck) Buckman, the chief mechanic for Brazilian driver Mario Moraes at Dale Coyne Racing."

Eliminating the competition nice.

search on youtube. you don't have time to watch all the vids of crew members getting hit, corner workers getting cut in half by wings, drivers forgetting to brake and plowing headfirst into a wall, etc.

catastrophic mistakes are nothing new.

True.

It even happens in F1. Happened in one of the first races of the season. It was kinda funny in slow-mo but sucked at the same time.
