Insurance is null and void while on the track.

An Indy car has an extremely low CG and can flip. ANYTHING can roll over. He was in the grass and had the car going sideways. The tires dug in and --poof-- over she went. One thing you've got to try to do if you go off the track is keep the car's tires rolling fast, in either direction. A grade change while going sideways will cause you to flip. Also, it's better to hit things like tire-walls with the ends of the car, not the sides.
