During today’s IndyCar race at Barber Motorsport Park, a mannequin fell off a bridge and landed next to the track, bringing out the yellow flag. Check out the video below to see one of the weirdest moments in motorsports history.
The track was built by George Barber, and some of his eccentric ‘decorations’ include sculptures of giant spiders, bison, and a mannequin named ‘Georgette’ positioned precariously on a bridge overtop the track, looking like an over-enthusiastic fan.
Oh yeah…the race. Team Penske finished 1-2 with No. 3 Scott McLaughlin taking the win (and completing his redemption after a recent DQ) and fan-favourite No. 12 Will Power as runner up.
even wow, even in all caps with three exclamation points, that a mannequin would fall on a race track.
What kind of lunatic decorates his Class A international-level race track with mannequins posed on bridges.

Can’t believe they only ran over her hand!
I guess I can see perching the mannequin up there for the drama, but I really think they should have shored up her hips better.
