all the races are like that, none of that immobilize the neck and so on, just get them off.
This wasn't like that. He remained on the track for awhile after he went down. They placed crash bags around him. The red flag was out for awhile before they moved him. He wasn't under threat of getting hit again or the crew getting hit. There were other numerous reports of poor corner working for this track in other races too. These guys just plain didn't know what the fuck they were doing out there.
