What happens when there is a crash on the INDY 500 race?

You seem to have the basics.  \n\nThey might not wait until the wreckage is completely cleared, if it's in a part of the track which isn't used much.

Yes it can bounce back if they merge again.  Indy Car racing is just as exciting as Nascar, I have been to races from both series Nascar and IRL, they are just as exciting as the other.  Merging also will bring back the sponsors, especially to the crown jewel of racing Indy 500.  The reason the decline has been so great is the lack of races on the schedule, if they merge I still wont expect a race every weekend but at least two a month except for May.  \n\nI say merge the manufacturers will get back into it, and the sponsors will also.  If the F1 series leaves the states, I say add a road race on the road course at the 500.  The popularity of the sport will again rise.

No damage, it warms them a bit (but not much).  Curiously I have wondered what happens if they spin tyres going over a wheel nut that has been removed.\n\nI raced for a few years here in England and here we have standing race starts, not rolling starts as in NASCAR.  Believe me in a race start situation the slightest wheel spin and you are engulfed by the field behind.  You learn not to spin the tyres, believe me.

they have many restrictions on thier cars to keep them slower\nso thier not doing 300 miles an hour.thier only going 200mph\nwhat do you think the diff would be in a crash.plus in racing\nthey allways have limits to what you can do to keep it interesting and every one has thier own ways to cheat.

First, it's really predicated upon whether the crash occurs in a "no-fault" jurisdiction, in which case each indivudal motorist would have to file their own claim with their own insurance company.  In all other situations, it would depend on the police investigation, and ultimately to whom the police assign blame in the accident report.

RACING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE ON A RACE TRACK. THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES THAT MAKE THE STREET RACING YOUR TALKING ABOUT WAY TOO DANGEROUS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU KILLING YOURSELF LIKE SOME OFF THESE OTHER PEOPLE DO, YOU MADE YOUR DECISION. I CARE ABOUT THE INNOCENT PERSON WHO ISN'T RACING IN ANOTHER CAR THAT YOU BLAST. YOU'LL FEEL REAL BAD, MAYBE EVEN SORRY. BUT THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE.

FORT WORTH, Texas (Ticker) - Kevin Harvick and Scott Riggs had their own version of a Texas tussle although neither driver factored into the outcome of Sunday's NASCAR Nextel Cup Dickies 500. \n\nTempers flared following the race when Harvick's and Riggs' team members were involved in a confrontation that knocked down Harvick's wife and injured a NASCAR official who was attempting to restore order.  \n \nThe drama at Texas Motor Speedway started with three laps remaining when Riggs tried to block Harvick, who repaid the favor by knocking Riggs out of the way and into the wall to set up a green-white-checkered flag finish. \n\nAfterwards, the two teams duked it out in the pit box. Harvick's wife, DeLana, was knocked to the ground by by Riggs' tool cart and NASCAR official John Sacco suffered a badly sprained ankle after also falling to the ground. \n\nA member of Riggs' team shoved Harvick from behind as he and his wife were walking back to the garage area. According to witnesses, the Harvicks and Sacco were knocked to the ground in front of the crash cart, which is a large tool box on wheels that is used in the pit area. \n\n"One of the guys on the No. 10 team came up from behind me and shoved Harvick, pushed him hard enough to knock him and DeLana in front of one of the war wagons (crash cart)," said Richard Childress Racing director of competition Mike Dillon, who was walking with the Harvicks. "A NASCAR (official) got in the way and tried to stop it. DeLana twisted her leg. \n\n"You're going to have heated moments, but when it turns physical it turns into a different story." \n\nA member of another NASCAR team confirmed Dillon's account of the incident. Evernham Motorsports officials, who own Riggs' Dodge Charger, would not identify the crew member. \n\n"I was in the garage with the car, so I didn't see what happened," said Riggs' crew chief, Rodney Childers. "We're working with NASCAR right now to figure out exactly what happened out there. There are always different sides to the story, and we'll work with them to find out what the truth is." \n\nNASCAR spokesman Mike McCarthy said officials are aware of the incident and are completing an investigation, but no further comments would be issued until that investigation is completed. \n\nHarvick admitted afterwards that he knocked Riggs out of the way after being blocked for position. \n\n"He was blocking all over the place, he wound up on the bottom. I got a good run on top, I got in back of him and spun him out," Harvick said. "Those guys decided to take matters in their own hands and trip my wife in front of the pit box and run her over. That was unnecessary, and I'm not happy about that." \n\nNASCAR officials called members of both teams to the transporter to discuss the situation. Penalties and possible suspension could be issued. \n\nAt the time of the on-track incident, Riggs was running third in the race. \n\n"I don't know what happened," said Riggs, who finished 31st. "We weren't as fast as the 20 (Tony Stewart) and the 48 (Jimmie Johnson), but we were on our way to a good finish. (Harvick) was behind us and all of a sudden we were loose and in the wall. \n\n"It's a shame for everyone on this team. They deserved a better finish for all of their hard work."

Imagine if you will you're pacing at 185 around a corner, and your spotter calls out that someone has spun out. You see the smoke tha engulfs the track so you let up off the gas. you now doing 140 through the smoke. Just when you made it out no harm done you see the car you about to t-bone. Welcome to NASCAR.

depends how many people involved. If it's a 2 person race, you're now in 1st and not 2nd.\n\nIt could also be like in Mario Kart when Yoshi is so damn fast that he overtakes poor old Luigi who is in Last Place - meaning he actually laps him - now you've overtaken last place and you're still in first.

one word answer... DEPENDS.\n\nIt is true, not nice to chat about but true.  They often get a couple of IV fluids and they are always drinking, and still can lose 10lb of fluids in a race.  I saw one race that Tony Stewart won but could not go to the winners circle, he had such a bad stomach bug he had to run straight back to his trailer for a new suit.  Gross huh??

Sorry to say I do not know that, but I dare to guess that it is different for different races. Not that I am a big fan or anything but I was watching a show the other day and the racer said you could win the championship without ever winning a race.
