IndyCar Driver Avoids Disaster With Mind-Blowing 190mph Save
IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe avoided a nasty accident during last weekend’s Pocono race with an absolutely mind-blowing save at over 190mph
Completing an awesome save after a wild moment is difficult enough on a normal racing track, let alone a barrier-lined oval where cars reach close to 200mph.
Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver Hinchcliffe almost definitely needed a change of race suit after this wild moment on lap 102 of Sunday’s IndyCar race at Pocono.
As he got to the mid-point of the corner, on the higher line, the back end started to step out – leading to some incredible car control and reactions. Look at him working at the wheel on the onboard footage!
Whether Hinchcliffe just clipped the wall or narrowly avoided it, we’re not 100 per cent sure, but he certainly escaped a huge shunt with this ridiculously cool save.

Still better than F1.
NASCAR gets up to 211. had a dozen crashed a race. No one talks about it. figures
They talk about saves if they happen. And IndyCar tops 230 at IMS…
It’s not like Hinchcliffe would not have had any previous crash experiences.
“let alone a barrier-lined oval where cars reach close to 200mph”
Pocono. a track famous for being a triangle, In fact the nickname for the track is “the tricky Triangle”
Was there for that. Should’ve heard the crowd reaction to that.
