Are the people at the finish line guaranteed to be hurt standing there? No. If by chance something were to happen it might be ugly. At the very least the truck should not be there so the drivers don't accidentally hit it.

Many years ago I saw a guy here with a 68-69 gto race car break the rear end right at the timing lights. The rear wheels locked up solid and spun the car around backwards in the blink of an eye. By the time the car stopped bouncing off everything it looked like a ball of metal more than a car. Stuff happens to even the best cars and drivers.

And, yes it is nice to see a Mopar car with a Mopar engine getting some notoriety.
