I read the driver died.

It was all about timing. The part flys in the air, Justin;s car rounds the turn at that moment and he is hit.

The drivers are tucked into those cars purty good in modern design

His organs helped 6 people today.

It was a life well lived, and his final good serves to remind us all of the importance of organ donation.

Wilson was also one of the prime spokesmen for safety within the series. I'm not sure what changes they'll make, but I'm confident there will be something. Safety never rests.
