NASCAR Mexico fatal incident...
Guys, today during the NASCAR Mexico round 4 race at Puebla, a fatal race incident took the life of the driver Carlos Pardo, when his car spun in a race incident contact battling for the lead with 4 laps to go, hitting the pitline divison wall, nailing the car from over 240 km/hr to zero in just than a second.
He was airlifted to the nearest hospital and was declared dead when receiving attention... he only was 33 years old... RIP Carlos Pardo... Let's make a pray for him and for his family... |

That was terrible. Where some drivers reminstrating with the driver who pushed Carlos off?
RIP Carlos... |

Awful crash, but were they running the wrong way round the track because that barrier he hit looked very dangerous - surely it should have been much longer and much more shallow in angle? I guess the driver who tapped him is going to get tagged as a killer by his fellow drivers and race fans whatever the outcome in the aftermath.
RIP Carlos |

After seeing the footage, I wasn't surprised that the driver didn't survive, it looked like a bomb went off. RIP Carlos.

Didn't he do some Busch road course races in the past? Or am i confused with another Mexican driver? |

The driver that was battling with Carlos at the time of the crash was Jorge Goeters, in a sunday late night sports show said that in a surveliance video from the track, appears how Carlos slightly close his line over Jorge before they touch, stewards have to study carefully the evidence... |

Goeters is quite an experienced guy so that surprises me - raced in Champ Car, A1 GP, Sprint Cup and a Nationwide pole sitter at Mexico City. But to blame him totally for the accident would be making him a scapegoat for the appallingly positioned barrier

Appallingly positioned or not, he still pushed that car around, and the more and more I replayed it, the more certain I am.
RIP Carlos. |

really shows how dangerous this sport can be when a simple accident can turn so nasty on impact with something that probably shouldnt be there...

Upon seeing the video of the crash, I was quite stunned, that is one of the worst impacts I've ever seen and I've seen heaps over the years.
Absolutely horrible. I dont want to think of what was going through his brother's mind when he saw that in front of him. RIP Carlos. |
