That is the dumbest argument ever. If the driver is responsible for the object they are controlling, I can stand in the middle of the road and sue anyone and everyone that hits me. This is clearly not the case. Nor is it when at a professional sporting event, something occurs causing an object or player to contact a spectator(s). As Scott said there, you have purchased a ticket and with that, some sort of risk clause. With this race, the spectator has personal responsibility for their own actions. I don't doubt that the lawsuits will end with settlements for the victims and more than likely the ones being charged will serve a mandatory minimum but it doesn't mean this is correct. Its our sick, sad world and it will never change.
