I fear Wilson was dead not long after that nose cone from Karam's car, hit his helmet.

He had the brakes locked so he had to be conscious at the barrier impact I would think.

Motor racing is a waste of money and serves no purpose. It's also a waste of energy, oil and adds to the greenhouse gas emissions. People go to these events because it's fast, loud and dangerous but after all, spectators don't have to worry about the dangers. Leave that to the to the drivers to worry about! I can't see why anyone would want to go to an event like this knowing that a driver might get killed. It's a spectacle of danger that attracts the people and it's all about the money! Spectators

I think you can hear at 0:22 the nose cone hitting Justin in the head. You can kinda line it up with where Sage's car is when it happens live and the replay at 7:02.

Honestly it looks like more of these drivers die from debris contacting their head than the actual crashes. It’s unbelievable to survive a hard hit and die from debris.

Why don't they make these cars and F1 cars with closed cockpit? You have to protect the driver before anything else surely? If they have a closed cockpit with durable material, maybe such accidents would not kill the drivers.

I covered auto racing for more than 25 years as a photographer and photographed many hundreds of crashes, so I have learned to see many details before and as the accidents happen and to see even more when reviewing still and video footage afterwards. It is interesting that Wilson's car never changed it's line until after safely getting past Karam's car, then Wilson's car makes a gradual left turn as the brakes are applied hard (note the skid marks and the smoking tires although the car is not sliding sideways.) His head does not drop forward until after he passes Karam's car. It appears he remained aware and functioning at least until just before he hit the inside wall. Even after being hit in the head, he may have been able to avoid hitting Karam or another car.

This was the first fatal wreck I had ever seen live, I have watched racing my whole life, mostly in the safety era. This race was crazy all day with massive wrecks thought the race that are overlooked due to this tragic wreck. Even though pocono was fun track for fans, I’m happy they took it if the schedule because It was way to dangerous. RIP Justin Wilson
