That's fair, the whole "pit wall" concept in American motorsports is interesting, has its pros and cons. Because of race length (and considering the amount of full throttle on ovals) refueling is pretty necessary, but in general, pit lane safety can be rough. Indy is also one of the most narrow oval pit lanes, despite the size of everything else at that track.

That being said, don't look at Nascar lol. I've been watching it for 5-6 years now and the pit lane safety standards still irk me a lot.
