That was a boss move on her part, and I hope Graci Harkema finds a better gig elsewhere soon.

All you have to be is successful enough to overrule your copyeditor (who should be an expert). Example: A bestselling author once included the phrase “divvy up to the bar” in a manuscript. I marked the correction “sidle up to the bar.” He overruled it in the next draft. I tried to explain to him that you “divvy up”…

So most of my life as an adult I’ve straddled the opinion fence, but having a discussion about discussions on politics - with a trans friend, opened my eyes.

I can’t believe the guy hocking a nutritional supplement pyramid scheme would support something that’s proven harmful by science. Weird. 

you can’t buy people anymore.

I’m looking forward to finding out which quote from this upcoming film will be appropriated by a new generation of right-wing assholes to indicate their awareness of how the world, like, really works, maaaan.

as others have said, with stock cars they can “rub” into each other without necessarily something like this happening. but any incident with open wheels is going to cause a wreck.

Since IndyCars are open cockpit, when they crash, the driver is more exposed. At fast ovals, they are more likely to get airborne. If the car goes into the fence cockpit first, the fence acts as a cheese grater and seriously injures drivers.

Ovals also lend to closer racing, which combined with closer closing speeds of open wheel cars can lend to this.

Its more of a product of the guys who race in Indycar, either F1 dropout or people trying to get there in a non conventional way.

If this was a field full of sprint car and midget racers ovals would not be…

Indycar speeds are typically higher. So even more kenetic energy

Is Pocono an oval? How can a track with three turns be an oval? I thought it was a triangular superspeedway. 

Open wheel cars are more likely to go up in the air when they get turned around at oval speeds. They're also more likely to get launched and flipped.  Combined with the open cockpit it makes the ultra high energy crashes at ovals very dangerous.

Very simple:  Open wheel cars are more susceptible to aerodynamics and as a result, even the smallest of twitches or mistakes can cause an accident and send a car careening into the catch fence. 

Higher speeds. open cockpit, open wheel, cars reliant on downforce which they lose when the get sideways. Take your pick

I understand maybe one third of the words in the title of this article.

Dealer, nothing over MSRP, even our ZR1 allocations were like that.
