Tons of safety concerns

No telling how this is going to play out. Drivers have completed 45 of the 90 laps. The Indy Car Radio Network reported that there’s some other issues on the track that could also cause problems if the race resumes. Turn 6 isn’t the only issue. Where’s MDOT road crews when you need them? How do Detroit racing faces feel about this? A Honda driver could win in Detroit by completing just half the race because of major road surface problems. I got a feeling a lot of folks wouldn’t be happy with this type of scenario.
