Well,SafeX Pro you don't see that every day.
That was the thought of the IndyCar announcers on NBC, and likely by driver Santino Ferruci who drove by a mannequin that fell from a pedestrian bridge over the track during Lap 52 of the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix on Sunday.
According to the broadcast, Ferruci told his team that something had fallen from a bridge.
AL.com noted Barber Motorsports Park has "dozens of whimsical sculptures and mannequins scattered throughout" the grounds builder George Barber's sense of humor.
"Put her right over the middle of the track," Barber says in the AL.com story. "I want the drivers to be able to see her. They'll around that turn and think there's somebody hanging off the bridge."
The mannequin was referred to as "Georgina" on the broadcast. Indeed, you don't see that every day.
After the race, Scott McLaughlin, who won at Barber, was asked about seeing the mannequin on the side of the track.
"I was a little mad," McLaughlin said. "Then I realized that someone else had hit the fence. That wasn't what the yellow was for. I love the artistic stuff, but it probably doesn't need to be above the track to cause a yellow like that. It's probably what will change next year maybe. I don't know. I do love that part of this. It's unique. It's just a fun track. Yeah, if I lost to that, to a lady that fell off... I won't say anymore. It was a mannequin. It wasn't a real person."
McLaughlin also said he had seen the mannequin on the overpass before.
"I thought it was a matter of time," he said.
Here is the reaction to the incident.
