Default Indycar pit stop goes horribly wrong at NOLA

Remember when pit crews just wore ball caps?

Francesco Dracone got it wrong coming into the pits and flipped his crew chief, Todd Phillips, who limped away with just a gash on his calf muscle and a cut on his nose.

Do they normally stand out in traffic like that?

He was lucky his foot was off the ground right before impact. Otherwise, he likely would have torn some knee ligaments.

That whole race was a major Charlie Foxtrot. More than half the (time limited) laps behind a pace car. Maybe they need to just park if it rains like NASCAR does? It was like watching people in San Antonio drive in the snow. . .
