From what I can gather Will Power and Nelson Phillipe both went to the hospital with concussions and Power had back injury, Phillipe a foot injury. Nasty crash.

Ouch.

Let's hope there all ok!

Urgh, T-bones are always nasty, combined with a blind crest, hopefully they are all alright.

The whole accident happened so quick that even if the yellow flags were flying there would have been little the drivers could do to make evasive action in time coming over a blind crest. Nobody is to blame although I'm sure some **** will try to point the finger. :rolleyes:

yeah ive lost the mazda in iracing and ended up there and no matter how you try to warn people if they're already comitted they've no chance of avoiding you

Here is the Autosport article on it...

...very nasty accident, not much any of them could do to prevent that.

Infineon's never been a safe track. The runoff is good, but it's mostly loose dirt with some dead grass (most of the year) and the walls are hard if you hit them. Plus lots of crests and weird cambers and things. That's what caught out Power, and possibly flag station visibility. They've always been hard to see up there, they're kinda tucked away.

I watched a Spoon Sports USTCC entry fly up into the stands after launching over a berm at about 100 MPH off of the main straight kink. Very scary, very nasty. Almost killed a whole flock of people, and the driver had crushed disks (the car rolled).

When asked if the team would consider another driver for Sunday's race, Cindric said, "It's Power or nobody."

That's why Penske is such a cool team.

Will Power - two fractured vertebrae.
Nelson Phillipe - fractured ankle.

Get well soon guys.

On another note, the run-off needs to be sorted at this track, yes there is decent amount of it but its all loose dirt banks.

+1, this post says it all. Actually I was caught by surprise by the last crash, thought the first collision had done all the damage
Hopefully both Power and Philippe will be back and ready in no time!
