Hard stop

Ouch

At least he got most of his speed shaved off in preparation for the turns... could have been way worse.
 
I know the caution flags were up but major WTF at red #43. That is clearly a 'blind' turn, and he just scoots out into the track right into the other driver's path.. Ugh...

I would expect fines for something that stupid. I know its endurance but its weird there werent any marshalls in a turn like that.

fail, although maybe he meant hitting one at an angle and you kind of slide along it like a hockey puck at the corners...

That must have been crazy, you can see the sod having shot up many feet in front of him.
 
So does the guy who pulled back onto the track in front of everyone else become responsible and get fined for the damage he caused?

Someone failed to understand the concept of "magnitude" of force and acceleration vectors.

Going from 100 to 0 is safer than going from 100 to -40 in the same amount of time of say one second. Former is around 5 g's, latter is 7 g's.

Concrete also doesn't deform and share half the collision energy.

+1 to all of this. Dirt is very forgiving compared to concrete.
