Since the Indy 500 crash that sent a wheel over the fence and slamming into a car in a parking lot, Dallara and IndyCar have worked to strengthen a part that would hopefully prevent it from happening again. That piece debuts this weekend.
During the Indy 500, a wheel from Kyle Kirkwood's car detached from his machine and flew over the catch fence and into a parking lot outside of the track — luckily missing all fans in attendance.The strength of the rear-wheel bearing retaining nut has increased by 60 percent over the previous design, according to a release from IndyCar.
“Dallara continues to be a tremendous partner of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES,” INDYCAR President Jay Frye said. “Their thorough review process of the incident between the No. 6 and the No. 27 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway began immediately and included an extensive recreation at their headquarters in Italy. INDYCAR takes safety very seriously. This update is an important step in making sure an incident like this does not happen again.
Previously, it was determined that the wheel tether system, using high-performance Zylon material, did not fail in the May 28 incident. INDYCAR was the first sanctioning body in the United States to require its use.
