    There was a late race incident and Justin Wilson was injured when he ran through the debris. He was airlifted to hospital. Head injuries confirmed, no other details available on his condition.

    Here's video.

    RIP. I hate to say it but I believe that the Indy gods will start screaming for

    enclosing the driver, that would make an already ugly car really, really ugly.

    I would suggest that they simply stop going to the high speed ovals. 225mph is a bit much and way to close to the edge.
