Crashes

In racing, it is inevitable that there may be a crash. It can be caused by numerous things. It could be a mechanical malfunction such as a blown motor, losing a wheel, etc. It could also be caused by contact with another driver, or just plain losing it and others having no place to go. No two crashes are alike. Some are a lot scarier than others. Those usually involve hard hits, flips, and fire. I will say that I am NOT a fan of crashes, but they are a part of the sport. I am always glad to see a driver walk away from a crash. I won't lie, they can be amazing to watch, but it isn't why I am drawn to racing. Those who cheer when drivers wreck make me sick. Those wishing a driver were hurt or killed in a wreck are dumbasses. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they aren't human. They have people who care about them. They have families in some cases. To say something like that is just cold, stupid, and unadvised around true race fans.
