Auto racing insurance in the U.S. is two part…participant accident (think of your hospitalization plan) and liability, the latter including the track, sanction organization and the participants. The rest of the world generally doesn’t have this program…and are YEARS behind the U.S. in providing this very needed coverage for their competitive events. Give NastyCar down the road…much of which I agree with…but their insurance program is probably as good as any other currently in force for U.S. racing events. When you “sign into the pits” or “show your hard-card,” this insurance is activated at every event on the schedule. Fact: big time oval racing sanctions have traditionally had good insurance programs; big time road racing is usually a less comprehensive and less understandable program. Internationally, who knows? Weird people. Weird laws. Italian courts going after builder of A. Senna’s car. Nuff said.

Watch out there. Curtis Turner got kicked out of NASCAR, not for drunken, reckless driving, but for trying to form a drivers union that would insure coverage like that.
