Why is something as idiotic as a dirt berm that close to the track.

Thank God he is ok.

All these American tracks just seem to be death traps. Thats the most idiotic thing ever and there was that Aston Martin crash where the runoff is below the track.

It's the same track, and the same straightaway. At the end of that straightaway is where the Aston flew off.

The technique is only properly at home when the Police try to run off a car they're chasing .... it almost looks like it's on purpose...

There's a new bit of paved track in there for a short version of the track, the dirt berm is probably do some some banking on the corner, as well as there being hills everywhere around the track.
