Inchidents, Chronic Pains, No Brakes, 'n Pit Lanes

Logan Sargeant’s car went up in flames after a nasty crash — a crash that he is incredibly lucky to have walked away uninjured from.

You would think that’s a good thing, right? No one could possibly be upset — after all, cars are replaceable but people very much are not.

Except “fans” (and I hesitate to even call them such) on Twitter and Instagram seem to disagree. They value an upgraded chassis more than the human being driving it.

And this isn’t something new — we see it happen all the time in other sports when athletes get injured and “fans” are more upset about how it’ll impact their fantasy lineup or favorite team than the actual human being having to deal with everything. But just because it’s not new doesn’t make it any less disappointing to see.

Athletes are people, let’s treat them as such.

Tom Clarkson: “You've been with carlos now for 4 years what will you miss about him?”

Charles: “I think just Carlos, the person.”

“The reality of things is that we always had a really good relationship. There's been many moments where inside the helmet, I hated him and he hated me because we didn't view the situation in the same way, but everything was fixed after a discussion between us two.”

“... we have a lot of memorable moments that i will remember forever.”
