Massive wreck in first lap of IndyCar ABC Supply 500 | Motorsports on NBC
/ motorsportsonnbc
Very thankful that nobody was hurt. That could've been way worse.
It is past time Indy should have introduced some sort of head protection to the drivers. Lucky was in the circuit today.
@@marc-oj3sc that wing was sooo close to his head
@@marc-oj3sc We have the aeroscreen coming fortunately, which should help
And will be next year, so that means, all one-sit cars have protect on cokpit
I LIKE this comment.
You can't win a race on the first lap, but you sure can lose one.
2nd year in a row ryan hunter reay n' james hinchcliffe get involved in a crazy crash oof
And water is wet
Who lucky
Joris De Laat you could've lost your life typing that comment too...
killabeezle yeah wtf was his coment
3:44 AMR team moving out before the crash is even over. Props to those guys.
ritwht Great job but they leaved Rosenqvist unattended like 2 minutes after the crash....
@@alexcov05 -- Rosenquist was on his radio talking with the team. There was an overturned car needing aid first.
@@alexcov05 It's entirely possible that they got to him off-camera checked he was talking and awake before continuing on to where the manpower was needed which was Sato's car upside down and on fire. Also, it seems he was in radio contact with his team which race control also have access to.
@@tgm9991 I agree. I think they knew he was "ok" and that was why they didn't get to him immediately. There were other cars that took much harder hits than he did. Granted he was the one taken for observation after the wreck.
The AMR guys are the best in the business. Hands down. I do anticipate they had radio communication with Rosenquist and they prioritized appropriately.... and I really hope that NBC covers that and shares the radio chatter today during the Gateway race to highlight their prioritization process as a good thing, and to clear up any (hopefully) misconceptions that they just didn't get to Rosenquist immediately. These guys 100% deserve the airtime to keep their reputation fitting of their awesome performance. I remember watching and thinking, "that is not like the Holmatro crew at all to be that late, especially to a guy that almost caught the fence", but then realizing they probably got an ok and put all hands on deck to right Sato's car, as TBell said on the broadcast.
Indycar onboards are soooo good. F1 seriously needs to up its game with this. Those driver POVs...
Would love a 360 cam on the F1 cars, but they're so concerned about aero that we'll probably never get em :(
@@fredxu99 well aero counts alot. But if in 2021 they can implement them in the whole car dessignt it would be cool.
At least F1 is available here.
I’ve been asking for these cameras for ages. But F1 teams don’t want them because of aero and weight. FIA should make it mandatory so it’s the same for everyone. F1 has done enough with how fast they can go now. Time for some cool cameras instead of aero and weight obsession for a change.
Wish granted
For those who say IndyCar shouldn't be at Pocono, Indy cars have raced there since 1971. This accident is not track safety issue, it's a result of a driver acting in a reckless and unsafe manner.
Drivers have to know that you can't do certain things in certain places. Typically there will be problems with brakes, especially into Turn 1, but you can't go into the first corner like that on the start or re-start unless it's a re-start after the race is official and severe weather is nearby (where it may be a race for the final lap).
I used to go watch Indycar there as a kid. The difference is they were doing 190 as opposed to 220. There were no huge multicar crashes like this in the 70's and 80's. They should lower the boost and slow them down to the point people don't have to make these insane moves to pass. If people are blaming Sato I guess they blame Wickens for his wreck too?
Takmakazi Sato is the reason for the accident and delay. One guy
@@IStandAlone1 then you have restrictor plate racing like Nascar, which is even more dangerous in Indy because less safety and faster speeds.
This type of accident will happen in any era if on the first lap the driver does what Rossi did. It is a part of oval racing
Indycar stopped going to Pocono after 1989 because of Safety concerns and didn't return until new fencing was put around the entire circuit in this decade.
Ive Never seen a car do a 50/50 grind to rail slide to 180 Smith grind. Wow that was ridiculous!
should join Nitro Circus instead of Indycar :P
Those are Skateboarding trick names correct? Most people would not understand what you are saying.
@@Dayfitnl I was thinking Bones Brigade... ha.
Bennett Taylor the Bones guys were badasses!
Trying to win the race on the first lap.
It never fails smh
Sato got a huge run on Rossi and tried to squeeze through a non-existent gap to get by Dixon. Sato's always been a charger (case in point: 2012 Indy 500) but this is the second year in a row this has happened early in the race. You'd think after what happened to Robert Wickens, the drivers would be a little more cautious and realize that there's still 498.5 miles to go.
In NASCAR, in 2012, after a restart, there was a crash just like that. But there was rain approaching and they really were racing as though it would be near the end. (That race never re-started as it was called for rain on the ensuing caution; a fan was killed by lightning.)
They look like IRL drivers
Exactly. You're being Reckless because they're impatient
If you pause it at 4:34, Rossi came EXTREMELY close to potentially fatal head impact with Sato's car.
I think that shows why F1 has the halo and why INDYCAR has the aeroscreen these days
It’s crazy how this wasn’t mandatory in the last few years for Indy car
@@tristannelson261 because it wasnt an issue in indy. It was driver aggression
@@AAA310 What a dumb comment. Justin Wilson’s death wasn’t a result of driver aggression. Flying debris can happen in any crash. It’s just F1 and Indy took too long to find a solution
@@PreciselyTunedWatching it today makes me wonder why they raced for so long without an aeroscreen or halo.
"Maybe the problem with Pocono isn’t the track, but the drivers not respecting it"
K Ben24 10000000000% agree. The crash happened in the straightaway, one of the widest in the season
Exactly. This is the second year in a row there's been an accident like this early in the race. Both were caused by drivers going for non-existent gaps in the Tunnel Turn.
@@wardhog10 EXACTLY.. You have an entire race to get to first and you can't respect each other for one lap.. Total AH"s..
Track is trash.
I thought blaming the drivers here was the unpopular opinion. Glad to see it's not.
6:10 "outside" *rolls* "you're clea... oh" 😂
Was at the track when it happened. Everyone was freaking out but thank God they're all ok.
Was there as well
same
How long did the crash delay the race?
@@sanfranciscobay 40 minutes I believe.
I was there, too. It was pretty crazy hearing the crowd react. And yeah, it was about a 45-minute red flag.
Actual footage of Hass F1 drivers going side by side.
😹Touchè
Well this aged like a fine wine
@@janpenner2002 omg I can’t believe it😂
@@janpenner2002 haha. Grosjean just signed up for Indycar
Everyone: Let's take it easy the first few laps and get settled in.
Sato: Full send dive bomb on the first lap.
swiftdee52 If there is a wreck anywhere near Sato you know he caused it ! Sato worst excuse for an indy car driver period !
@@jmldreamer until you win an Indy 500 you can't say what an excuse for a driver is
Conner Grindstaff i can say this sato sucks ! I can say That !!!!
@@jmldreamer You should give Rossi a hug. He's crying just as much as you.
Yep. He felt he had to win the race on the first lap instead of lap 127 since it got called do to weather.
Watched this live. My heart skipped a beat when I saw felix riding on top of the SAFER barrier. Lucky it was not like Roberts wreck last year where he went through the catchfence. Sato was driving stupidly on the fast lap of a 500 mile race. After last year they should all be aware of the dangers of this circuit.
Actully race control said that rossi started the wreck by moving up into sato
I feel this track needs to be taken off the schedule.
No kidding.. That's scary af...
Look at the speed difference, Sato thought he could sling shot passed but missed judged it by an inch! His rear tire clips Rossi's front.
Now, should he have made that slingshot move on the first lap? Probably not, but a ton of little things made this crash really bad
@@fantasticfish6399 RHR and Sato made 3 wide move, that was very stupid move..
I hope we don't lose Pocono. Such a good Indycar track. It's like a roadcorse superspeedway. Plz keep it.
It going to kill more drivers if the keep it on the schedule
@@aaronraymond4461 only becuase the drivers are overly aggressive.
Always happy to see that no one was seriously hurt and that the cars and the track did what they were designed to do.
Racing that close on lap one of a 500 mile race ?
Makes no sense.
It's like iRacing😁
Pleb racers
@@tarksable I was going to say Grand Prix Legends... :-)
I fail to see how Sato is the one to blame in this when RHR got the same exact run on the inside and Rossi got spooked when both of them swarmed him. You can see Rossi come back to the right across the track right as Sato got beside him. Both were going for the draft on Dixon. One zigged, one zagged. Racing incident.
It is amazing how safe those cars actually are.
I've witnessed champ car crashes in the 70s night and day compared to today.
How can anyone [completely] blame Sato? Watch starting at 4:27 frame by frame (press "."). He didn't move a foot to the left in relation to those black lines before the contact. It was Rossi who was moving to the right like a rocket.
"Those black lines" are hard braking tire marks all pointing inwards and to the left, they're not parallel to the track. Sato was moving left.
Rossi was clearly moving to the right. Rachel's view is definitive
Sato just drove straight . You can see everything on his onboard camera .Even so, it was good that everyone was not injured .
He should not have been in that position.
okleydokley so if your a race car driver you would be fired automatically a driver finds space to pass
@Y H....BULLSHIT
4:26 how did they not see rossi scoot over into sato?look at the steering wheel
you're kidding right? Sato and Sato's inept driving and carelessness caused this incident alone.
Seriously watch it at x.25 speed, Sato is going straight. Tracy is talking about Rossi " turning on him", not Sato.
I can believe Sato can be reckless, but this wasn't on him
No that's how Open Wheel race cars look when they're close to each other Sato ended up dive-bombing to the left which caused the accident. What you're seeing is the air messing with Rossi's car
@@langsfordmusicltd283 race control ruled that they were both at fault
0:57 = Got to think Sato was thinking about Austria 02 when he hit the wall....
Excellent camera photography
1 RHR went up
2 Rossi tried to avoid RHR, not realising Sato coming fast, so he went up
3 Sato was going fast straight right next to Rossi with very little gap
The best way to see this is just an accident.
But RHR would be the one to be blamed if we need to choose.
People can say what they want about Pocono, and that's fine. Freedom of speech and all that. But here is one fact. That is 100% Sato's fault, and he deserves at the very least, a one race ban. That was really frightening to watch. I'm very thankful that everybody was ok.
Takmakazi Sato...lol
Still. How are there still fences in places like those, where cars can get to so easily after a crash?
Nascar... Pocono... ugh. Terrible. But that said, these open wheel races there might be more entertaining.
@Lil' Wayne's guitar teacher that's my point. It's time to change the fences for something "solid"
Amazing A The Dreamer sato needs surgery to widen his eyes
Amazing how everyone is blaming Sato , when Sato didn't move. He was going straight the whole time.
He did move left
He said "I thought I was clear" when he was moving over to get Scott Dixon's slipstream
@Mark Grudt ..... 😐
h_ray up. sato&lossi straight
That's racing! That's why people have always watched because its DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!
raise the walls!! if the walls on the outside were double height this wouldn't be as scary for Felix... sponsors would also love it
I don't know why there are still fences all over the circuit, replace them for a thin wall, or something continuous at least. If you need grandstand visibility keep the fences only where the grandstands actually are 🤷🏼♂️
@@christopherabramor3012 Yeah let's just have it really be easy for a car to go outside of the track. Seems totally logical to me.
@@s1ke781 you're not reading. I'm talking about replacing the fences, not taking them out 🤷🏼♂️
Or they could use clear plastic lanes like on a hockey rank
Agreed
That is like every iRacing IndyCar Fixed race on a draft track
Yeah.. It got boring like Nascar...
NASCAR has destroyed sim racing with that stupid package
this isn't nascar , buster
@@tonycavez yeah.. They let women drive both.. And we let them vote..
Anthony Kernich you’re not wrong
Wow Didn't see the first part of this race. Things happen so fast with these cars, especially on Ovals. Glad everyone got out of their cars.
Rossi was turning to right trying get draft but sato was coming fast and without realizing it Rossi hits sato and sato hitting the other dude and watch the Rossi onboard carefully and look up sato onboard and see the difference
4:35
Imagine how scared you would be if you couldn't steer at this speed...
Edit: When in the air too..
And that is why it is called Poc-oh-no!
To everyone saying POCONO needs to go, then so does Indy. Indy is MORE dangerous than POCONO and yet we never say Indy shouldn’t be on the schedule.
It's just road racing loving cry babies trying to get rid of one more oval they dislike...They'd prefer a manhole dodging street parade over an oval...If it wasn't the constructed "safety issue" they'd complain that the racing wasn't interesting...
Yeah I really don't understand the argument people make about this race being too dangerous. Pocono is literally Indy without a fourth turn. I looks to me as if its more driver error than a track problem...
drewski31683 Indy is faster, narrower and 33 cars race instead of only 22
The drivers respect Indy, they don't respect Pocono.
Daniel Findley That's exactly the problem. We never see guys 3-4 wide into turn 3 in Indy in the first lap while we do here. The most craziest moves in Indy are done in the last 10 miles while here they don't even wait a lap. Hopefully after this incident they will learn to respect Pocono.
As I said in some forums, it's not because of Pocono, it's the drivers who can't seem to calm the F down when it comes to this particular track. It's a long race and someone going full send barely a mile into the race is totally stupid indeed....
We could probably get at least 190 laps down before the storm came if not because of that incident....
Maybe they should add double points to Pocono as well so everyone can be more patient during early laps.....
Exactly I'm so sick and tired of people having knee jerk reactions the Wickens crash while yes it was terrible that could have happened at Indy same with today so do they wanna drop to Indy maybe we should start suspending drivers who make bonehead moves on not even a full lap of a 500 mile race
They have to give a one-race suspension to Sato for this.
I was there they gave Rossi a 10 lap penalty totally wrong wasn't his fault at all
@@tonycavez Rossi got a penalty? How?
@@bw-leftturnracing7779they said 10 lap penalty if he got back on the track the team did repair his car and many laps down got back in the race in the end it didn't matter but his team engineer was pretty pissed when reporter asked him about it he simply said it's best I don't say anything
@@tonycavez That's ridiculous
@Alex I didn't know that but still a very hard penalty , at the track sometimes we can't tell
Rossi was inside the seam in the pavement when Sato started his pass, & was halfway across it at the time of contact. Rossi was moving to the right.
Exactly.
@Joe Cool maybe you should watch Satos onboard..he posted on Twitter.
What bothers me about this is how the track gets blamed for driver error. After this crash there has been talk about ending Indy car races at Pocono .
Hugh Snyder A better alternative would be to end Indycar races with Sato in them
Kyle Dedrick Check out Sato’s onboard (he tweeted it). Neither he nor Rossi are at fault
Wow glad all drivers are OK!
It’s not that Pocono is dangerous, it’s that some drivers don’t respect it.
h-ray&lossi right handle
sato keep running straight
No
@@michaelgomez3044 yes
Michael Gomez Sato not get penalty
Worst driving I've seen since watching indy car. Glad everybody is ok!
Sato at his best
This was not Sato's fault.
I like Dixon's comments on the track, its getting a bad reputation but it doesn't really deserve it. Both last year and this year it was clearly over aggressive driving and or driver error that caused the accidents.
Weaving two car widths, 3-4 cars wide and they blame the track. Blame Sato. He should not have been there.
@@truantray I think this crash, together with Wickens's the year prior and Wilson's death in 2015, determined that Indycar shouldn't go to Pocono anymore. A shame, really, because I believe none of those incidents are the track's fault.
These guys need a formula 1 style bar protecting the cockpit area!
The cockpit will be enclosed next year with an aeroscreen
@@bigelile07 They need to stop racing ovals. Leave it to close wheel cars.
The halo..? I believe that’s what it’s called .
@@holdencaulfied7492 So no Indy 500?
holden caulfied the problem isnt the ovals,it’s the drivers not respecting the ovals and causing these crashes early on
Take a closer look. It appears that Sato was being pinched against the wall and the driver beside him touched his left rear tire turning him into the field. So it was not Sato's fault.
I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Youre looking for things that are just not there. Sato clearly drove down into the others causing this....he's a menace who's does things like this on many occasions im afraid!
When the dust settles this will not be blamed on Sato. Rossi clearly moved multiple feet to the right as he was being passed on left side and was also being blown by on right by Sato and Rossi clearly by evidence of pavement resurfacing (straight black line) moved way right and collected Sato... Rossi's own camera and Rahal's view clearly show this...
Sato has a reputation.... And a not so good one... However after looking at all the footage and in car cams it really does seem he's not at fault. He was going straight and got hit in the left rear. Rossi and Hunter-Rey look more like the culprits... That said, all the drivers can do a better job respecting space and time.... Not the track's fault for sure.
I'm an F1 fan and I don't understand why Sato still drives in Indycar
1) Sato is old
2) Sato is the only F1 driver for the last 15 years who has been disqualified twice in the season
3) Sato couldn't finish more than quarter of his races during his F1 career
@@GURken But hes a great driver, just bad luck or wasn't in teams to allow himself to shine. Just look at his Career before joining F1.
The race ended on lap 128 not lap 1. 🤷🏻♂️
MrKeith8885 you should notify Indy car I think you got sato’s pre-race memo
Drew Galbraith he’s all about no attack no chance. Regardless of his claims of Rossi moving right, he still forced the issue. In this case he is lucky no one got seriously hurt.
For all the people saying ditch Pocono, do you guys not remember the countless fatal/career ending crashes on road/street circuits?
Wilfred P that may be the case. But superspeedways are part of what makes Indycar indycar. If we get rid of all of them it just becomes a slower version of F1
Wilfred P and not only that sometimes we need to blame the drivers for being overly aggressive
Wilfred P the most dangerous form of Racing is the Isle of Man TT bike race. Literally 2-3 people die there every year. But the danger is why people love indycar. Obviously we hate to see crashes like this but the bravery the drivers show is why we watch the sport
Wilfred P and if pocono had the same 3 wide starts at Indy with the rows spaced out then the cars wouldn’t be so bunched up at the starts. And people wouldn’t try stupid maneuvers. And telling Indycar not to go to superspeedways is like telling nascar to ditch Daytona or talladega
Wilfred P so you’re saying you’d rather watch Iowa than the Indy 500?
Debris went flying over Hunter Reay’s head
Where is the HALO. Cmon now protect our drivers
Aeroscreen 2020
This isnt f1. Question answered.
Rider Made halo would be more dangerous on an oval since ya know,an awkward view of the mirrors and other cars
Rider Made, you are correct. Nice to see all those tethered tires staying on though...
@@pacoalonso373 mabe a sort of half halo for the ovals and normal one for the regular tracks..
Im not really a indycar fan so i dont know much about the sport but i think they need to add some kind of safety for the drivers head. The halo in F1 is really a good thing for now. So some kind of pratection in indycars would be nice.
Smart broadcast. They didn't show any replays until they knew everyone was ok. Well done.
And I thought Forza was unrealistic
Forza is unrealistic
Reckless drivers being impatient on the first lap
Wreckless driver... singular. Freakin Sato, again
I knew Takuma Sato was small, but I didn't realize he's a Hobbit.
That was frightening
Sato should get a ban. That move showed no respect to the drivers around him or the track.
indycar at pocono is just MENTAL.
Takmakazi Sato has driven like that for years! He "thought" he was clear...lmao
Actually rossi started the wreck look at the steering wheel 4:26
pitfppyc kh bk9olc BS, Rossi was solid until the steering wheel was ripped out of his hands.
@@fantasticfish6399 wtf are you talking about?
So Rossi didn't move 2 - 3 feet to the right ( straight black line as a marker ) and then Sato collected his rear left to Rossi Front right...
Rossi moved right by at least 2 feet or 3 feet.
@@JVSauber not the way it looked to me...lol
It was even a great story that a week later after takuma fliped a week later in the next race he won, witch is a great story to know about
Why haven't significant changes happened to make this track more safe? Indy needs to alter the layout when they race there or stop racing at Pocono. I have no interest in watching drivers in near death scenarios every year at Pocono!
Alter the layout???...To what, precisely???
I watched this live, and i was sure glad everyone else was ok. Especially Sato and Felix
My dream would be Indy cars at Bristol..
I thought abt this lmao would be interesting
What a race!!
That was scary
@@anandguruji83 why oh and also massive wreck in the abc supply 500 0:38 0:39
All drivers: let's take it easy on the first lap.
Sato: fucking send it!!! *wrecks almost the whole field*
Not again in the Tunnel!
I'm not sure if Indycar can still race at Pocono with this little aero.
Maybe they should race somewhere else, like Homestead or Michigan
As long as Detroit is on the schedule Michigan isn't going to happen. Homestead would be great. And Fontana would be great also btu that track needs a repave badly.
@MetalMastodon You're right
Look at Atlanta, it has created clean racing in the February with the NASCARS, so racing should be possible
I'm just glad to see everyone walk out of it unharmed...
Sato, that move you made is a good example of a WW II kamikaze pilot training course..
BANZAI!!!
That didn't go as planned. Glad everyone is okay.
Thumps up for the track workers getting on the scene asap.
Except for the guy that rode the fence. Felix sat there for 3 minutes before anybody got to him.
@@atbimagesllc THERE WAS A FRIGGIN CAR FLIPPED
What Pocono needs is either a higher safer barrier on the outside wall or a stronger catch fence because those catchfence have gotten torn a lot and it really did not look pleasant
Reminds me of every day on the 880 in Oakland
lol yep
It feels like this happens to much, but there's not much you can do to keep the cars on the ground better
Family Guy Asian Driver. That's Sato after today.

Takmakazi Sato has gotten away with it...
But it's okay when he does it to himself...lol
Same in F1
I was glad Sato was okay. He should have had a better sense of his overtake speed and allowed another moment to clear. He had the speed to do it had he been patient.
How many fatal or near fatal crashes do we have to have at this track before we get the dozer?
until they all die. Hey while we are at it, get rid of the Indy 500. That way, fans with delicate sensibilities can enjoy the races at Detroit.
@reelkena This track was designed to be an indycar racetrack. and considering the race track with the most fatalities in the indycar schedule is Indianapolis, how about we dozer that shithole instead?
Okay, fine. I'll continue to boycott this race track and y'all can keep watching this garbage and every time someone gets hurt or worse, then I'll just say I told you so. How's that sound?
Clearly driver error, but let's use your logic and get rid of all circuits with near and fatal incidents. Indianapolis, Daytona, LeMan, etc... just don't watch if it bothers you.
@Samuel McKamey okay so now that I've been given the facts, as far as injuries and fatalities are concerned.... Pocono is just as dangerous as any other superspeedway.
However, the lackluster racing that it puts on is still not for me. I still hate this track with a burning passion regardless.
The on board cameras r so good :O Better than F1 tbh >.
All cars shooting for position getting up to speed Where's the SPOTTER?
Dangerous circuit. Happy to see it go.
It’s the aero kit that is to blame. You can’t pass so everybody is so aggressive to be at the front. Not the track, not the drivers, it’s the aero kit. The drivers are forced to be so aggressive.
im sorry, but its not the aero kit that forces a driver to take a non existent gap on lap 1 of a 500 mile race.....its poor judgement and driving, nothing more.
Absolutely love Rossi, but it clearly shows that hunter-reay and Rossi moves up towards Sato. The joints in the tarmac are the reference point. Sato stays straight until he is touched.
Why am I not surprized
We were there, it was scary for a bit till everyone was accounted for and ok!

I thought so too. They never show Sato's on board.
0:38--"Smoked" is right...RED ALERT!
Can someone expalin to me why Sato is still driving races cars. He is crashing almost every week since is debut in F1
He is??
In f1 it was because Honda wanted a Japanese driver, so that might be why he's got one now
Glad you mentioned his well blemished F1 career. He was recklessly incompetent but japanese.

That’s hard... but glad that everyone is okay🙌

Thank god they’ve put the Halo on these cars
