Also notice how far that rear tire sticks out from the rest of the vehicle.
The limited view is a good point. I drove stock cars for several years and a driver really can’t see that well, especially at night. You have mud on your shield, your wearing a helmet, and you’re surrounded by a roll cage. There are a lot of blind spots. In addition, you are told in every safety meeting to remain in your car until the emergency crew gets on scene unless the car is on fire. You never run onto the track. Cars have even hit emergency vehicles with flashing lights because of poor visibility. It’s not surprising that the driver got run over.
