Oh no! I hope there was no one sitting in that red chair. That roll cage saved his ass.

Check out the spectator with the camera in the first few frames. Looks like about two feet of separation between him and the car. People can be unbelievably stupid at events like this.

That would have buffed out until he kicked it! Glad he only hurt his ego.

That marvelous crumple zone in front is what saved the rest of him....

Why are people worried about the red chair guy?
And why do red chair guy and green chair guy have their colorful chairs pointed at their battery powered TV instead of the race? Darrel and Darell left for a beer run and missed the whole thing.

Wrong red chair. There was one in the video kinda morphed in with the car.

I wouldn't be surprised if that guy didn't contribute to it by sitting right on the apex. Coming up on him fast I doubt I could have avoided lifting a bit, or twitching on the line, and that's all it would have taken.
