NASCAR driver Corey LaJoie has reacted to the bizarre accident that took place during the NASCAR Mexico Series finale on Sunday, November 9. A safety vehicle slammed into a crashed car under caution at the Miguel E. Abed Racetrack in Amozoc, Puebla.Santiago Tovar in the No. 22 Quaker State Ford had hit a tire barrier during the 14th race of the season. He was buried in the tires when a silver SUV hit it head-on. A video from the grandstands showed that after the crash, a safety car accelerated into view and hit the front right fender of Tovar's car.Tovar and the safety worker got out of the wrecks without any apparent injuries. Meanwhile, LaJoie, who competed part-time for Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Truck Series this season, commented on the safety car crashing into Tovar:"Made sure to finish him off."The incident took place late in a chaotic Championship 4 battle that featured multiple crashes and contact among title contenders. Julio Rejón and Max Gutiérrez, who attempted to force a result, caused a massive wreck on the run to the finish.However, Alex de Alba avoided the melee, moved from seventh to fourth, and crossed the checkered line to take home the Mexico Series championship for Sidral Aga Racing.The recent incident, which has gone viral on social media, exposed the safety issues at the Mexico track since it was the site of another deadly crash in the late 2000s.NASCAR Mexico season finale crash highlights safety issues at race trackMost NASCAR tracks in the US use the SAFER barrier (Steel And Foam Energy Reduction) to reduce impact forces when cars crash into walls. It uses steel tubes mounted over a standard concrete wall, and foam blocks behind the tubes that absorb energy. However, these barrier systems are absent outside the country.The Autódromo Miguel E. Abed also saw another fatal crash more than 15 years ago. In June 2009, NASCAR Mexico driver Carlos Pardo spun and slammed into a retaining wall at over 200 km per hour on the 97th lap of a 100-lap race. He hit the water drums as his car disintegrated upon impact, and he was transported to a hospital in an air ambulance.Pardo, who was the first driver to win the NASCAR Mexico Series championship in 2004, later died from his injuries at the age of 33.That wreck raised long-running questions about concrete walls and barrier design. But the track walls still seemed unprotected without safety barriers when the season's final race ended in chaos.The tire barriers also seemed to be placed at odd angles instead of running parallel to the track.
