UPDATE #2 Another reader writes, Dear AR1.com The IRL safety team looked like Laurel and Hardy as they almost caused Simona to be barbequed. The CART/Champ safety team was awesome. The IRL looked like clowns. Zanardi would be dead with those guys. Mordichai Rosen

06/06/10 Intense moments as Simona De Silvestro was stuck in a burning car during the Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway Saturday night. Watch as she suffers some burns to her right hand because the IndyCar Safety Crew was totally unprepared and looked like a bunch of rank amateurs.

"The safety crew should be ashamed of themselves," said Keith Wiggins, HVM Racing Team Principal. "That was a scary moment and we are glad she is alright."
