Justin Wilson was airlifted to a nearby hospital for a head injury after a crash in the closing laps of Sunday's IndyCar race at Pocono Raceway. He suffered a severe head injury and is in a coma and critical condition. The crash occurred with 21 laps to go when race leader Sage Karam spun in turn 1 and debris from his car hit Justin Wilson. Wilson then, seemingly unconscious, veered off and had a head-on collision with the inside wall, which was protected by a SAFER barrier.

Looked like he caught a nose cone in the head.
Already talking about enclosed cockpits.

Already talking about enclosed cockpits. Heard that too... A bit of a knee-jerk reaction IMO. Debris injuries happen but are more freak accidents than routine.
A canopy sounds like a good idea until a driver with medical trauma is trapped in the car.

...Justin Wilson, the old Cajun TV chef?...
If it is, he must be nearly fossilized.

Yeah, the cars are all within close tolerances so there are only very minimal differences.
