I regularly track at mid ohio (6 times so far this year) and the spot of the crash is at the end of the back straight the longest and fastest part of the track. What the pictures don't really capture well is that the car went through a couple hundred feet of sand trap to even make it to the tire wall and fence. Makes you wonder if there was some kind of mechanical failure on the car that prevented adequate braking. And yes the rescue crews are placed there for a reason as many people go off at that spot but most are slowed by the sand trap, this is the first time I've seen anyone go to the wall, let alone through it.
