Chaves damn.

Now thoughts away with Wilson.

 

[RACECAR]

Well, RHR just won now.


Not really concerned about him right now though.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

This is a sucky way to finish

 

[G.T.Ace]

They can't send the helicopter until he's stable, and twitter is reporting that the helicopter is leaving now.

Thing is, that should be a reason to stop the race unless they've got a helicopter to replace the one leaving already.

There was at least one other helicopter sitting there on the helipad.

Shame for Chaves! Looks like RHR will get it, unfortunately.

Hunter-Reay, Newgarden, Montoya, Power, Munoz, Sato, Pagenaud top 7.

 

[GTRacer22]

11 cars finish the race. Less than half the field. That's.... Not good. At all.

 

[Eva]

Thoughts now to go with Wilson completely. I think we need to get away from this thread until news is out on his condition.

 

[ukfan758]

Congrats RHR.

 

[GTRacer22]

RHR gets the win for Andretti. Happy that Andretti gets the win after that unfortunate accident.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Those last 10 laps shouldn't have even happened.

 

[ukfan758]

I've got a 4 hour drive ahead of me so I will have no idea on what's going on. With that, I wish for the best possible outcome for Wilson.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I'm glad they finished the race.

 

[ukfan758]

Indycar must know something...

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

No news about Justin's condition after this long is really concerning.

 

[catamount39]

This has just been a scary weekend for open wheel/Formula championships...

 

[GTPorsche]

If they don't have info, they don't have info.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Hope Wilson is alright, it would seem so though as they took their time getting him out of the track.

 

[Jahgee]

If they don't have info, they don't have info.

Nope, everything ever is always a conspiracy

 

[GTRacer22]

Nope, everything ever is always a conspiracy

Not really the time for that.

 

[GTPorsche]

Hope Wilson is alright, it would seem so though as they took their time getting him out of the track.

The injured person has to be stable prior to being airlifted anywhere.

 

[nascarfan1400]

What site would have the info?

 

[ukfan758]

Good move imo for NBC to cut out, nothing is known so there's no reason to spend hours speculating (hypocritical of me to say that though).

 

[ukfan758]

What site would have the info?

Indycar press release or NBC sports.

 

[GTRacer22]

​

 

[GTPorsche]

Sage Karam is being transported via ambulance to hospital to get further evaluation on a right foot injury.

 

[Eva]

In ways, a red flag seemed right. But so did finishing the race. With respect to those that think that stopping the race short would have been right, IndyCar did the right thing. They let the race come to a full 500 mile conclusion, and they didn't waste time. Everyone has treated it with class, and that's the most important thing. If they felt it was wrong they would have red flagged and that would be it. NBCSN treated the broadcast right. I have no complaints.

 

[GTRacer22]

Already known, but they're announcing it.

Edit: From before.

​

 

[nascarfan1400]

Wonder what INDY could do about that. Seems like a lot of foot injuries today

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

What site would have the info?

Stefan Wilson's twitter should be reliable when info is released ( https://twitter.com/stef_wilson )

Nothing. They just add more padding which makes the cockpit hotter.
