Holy ****

 

[Reck]

Holy smokes. That tire went flying a thousand miles into the stands.

 

[Speedbowl14]

OH MY GOD A TIRE CLEARED THE FENCE

 

[Greg]

omg i hope that tire didn't kill somebody

 

[SneakySwede]

Holy crap. A tire took off towards the stands. It looks like it went next to stands tho. Hope no one was hit

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Thank goodness for that halo around the head.

 

[Spotter22]

where did that damn tire go man! I've got chills

 

[donthaveanickname]

Holy moly tire into the stands

Holy ****. I hope it flew just by that grandstand but I can't say for certain.

 

[JW1]

Another race ending on a yellow?

 

[SneakySwede]

Holy ****. I hope it flew just by that grandstand but I can't say for certain.

I think so. But they’re holding the replays obviously. I think it went past the stands. But hope it didn’t catch people back there

 

[Greg]

No camaras replaying the tire flight is even more concerning

 

[34R7H130UND]

This is the first indy race I've ever watched, tuned in with 30 left.

That tire... Holy s%#&

 

[antman12]

Omg that tire

 

[DIDIT]

That tire flying was one if the scariest things I have seen in racing.

 

[Kiante]

Aero wash and lost the front nose of the car.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I really hope that cleared the stands.

 

[TheJester]

Looks like it went into a gap WOW

 

[Kiante]

That in-car and audio of Kirkwood is honestly terrifying.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Another race ending on a yellow?

Red flag for sure but I'm more concerned about that wheel right now

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Think that tire cleared the grandstand

 

[Speedbowl14]

Wow. I don't want to assume but perhaps the luckiest tire to clear the stands ever

 

[FLRacingFan]

Just barely cleared it, looks like.

 

[donthaveanickname]

It flew past thank God

 

[Speedbowl14]

Oh my god made maybe a 80 foot gap

 

[Hotrod]

Hope that tire didnt hit anyone ! Yikes.

 

[Blaze]

Yeah. Think it thankfully cleared the stands. Was so scary

 

[JW1]

Nope. Red flag.

 

[TheJester]

That would’ve been the sport ender

 

[Speedbowl14]

Finally showed where the tire hit and looks like no one was there...maybe a person's car destroyed and hopefully that's it

 

[Greg]

Hopefully the Grace of God spared many. But that tire still could have hit someone near the that cleared grandstand

 

[Kiante]

It hit someone's car it looks like that tire.

Insurance claim is going to be insane.

 

[KTMLew01]

Yeah. Think it thankfully cleared the stands. Was so scary

next question is where did it go after it landed and bounced.

 

[donthaveanickname]

A couple hundred people in the stands need new underwear but I'm relieved if it's just that.

Wheel assembly and fencing need to be worked on for next year.

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[Musrat#2]

I am sure people were around where that tire landed. I hope no one was hurt!

 

[Spotter22]

Lots of people in between those stands if indeed thats where it went

 

[34R7H130UND]

 

[Speedbowl14]

This is literally the biggest miracle in motorsports of this century that no one was hurt at a track surrounded by grandstands on 3/4ths of it's exterior

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

 

[Kiante]

IMS is going to pay for a new Honda or Chevy for me. Lol.
