    Will Jimmie be driving and racing an Indy car in 2021 ??

    Since back in 2018 after Jimmie test drove Alonso's Indy car, he has had the idea in his head ever since.
    On that day in 2018 , Jimmie got out of that Indy car and has had a smile on his face ever since !!

    He has gotta be better then 'Go Go Danica' and she drove Indy for some years
    But her last race saw her spin around and around all on her own... and that was it for her, I think she is fashion model now
    (just kidding about the fashion model thing, well sorta).

    Others have too, Tony Stewart and also that guy that hit the Turbo Dryer on a Nascar track during a caution... what was his name?

    AJ Fyot was one of the biggest names in Nascar and Indycar, he did well at both.

    Jeff Gordon once said that he wished he had gotten in an Indy car when he was 20 years old, instead of 40

    Back in the day when them Indy and F1 cars grew extremely fast in a span of only a few years, the tracks were not ready for them speeds and mayhem followed
    I do agree thou with you 4me, them cars if not respected or even by pure chance, them cars can kill you in a second.
    Arton Senna was the best ever behind the wheel of an F1 car but his end also came in a F1 car

    But them the chances they take in them cars. Them guys that professionally race any car are a whole 'nother breed of men

    all of them

    You can't compare the reasons for wrecks between nascar and indy. And that really is what it comes down to.

    In Nascar bumping and side drafting and taking the air away from a competitor is racing.
    That can't be said with Indy car.
    With Indy car, its all about precision and consistency.

    You wreck in an Indy car and chances are that it would be worse then in a Nascar , but in a nsacar wrecking is part of racing, while the same is not true with Indy.

    Just my thoughts

    Wasn't Comparing the Reasons... Comparing the Results as Nascar has taken Great Precautions in Making Nascar Racers Safe while Indy Racers almost Disintegrate upon Impact...!

    them cars are designed to disintegrate upon impact. That takes alot of the impact energy with it when they break up like they do.
    That was a design that was a big break-thru with the safety of those cars. The drivers are still in a cage thou and will survive most crashes. Its when they land upside down or on fire with the driver trapped inside that is the most worrisome.
    The fires are not so much of a worry anymore thou these days as they have advanced fuel cells that take care of that.
