How fast do IPS cars go? I ask out of ignorance. I hardly have time to watch IRL, let alone follow its feeder series. They run on the same tracks as the IRL boys (& girl). And regardless of issues like car setup, or differences in IRL vs. IPS speed--the rules of the track are the same. So when Ed Carpenter crashed, and the yellow trackside lights went on, and Dana's spotter said (or should have said) "yellow, yellow, yellow, turn 2..." (or wherever the wreck was located) why did Dana not slow down? Maybe it wasn't so much an issue of not being able to handle a car at 200 mph, but (like motion said) an issue of overexuberence in the moment.
