In many ways, the Stock Car Brazil series is pretty cool. It's more like DTM than American oval-track stock car racing: Dallara tube frame chassis are wrapped in branded spec bodywork, and the whole field is powered by Dodge-derived 350 cid V8s. Races are held on a number of tracks: Interlagos, for one, and this one at Curitiba.

Less cool, apparently, is management of the live track. It's the track operators responsibility to keep the live track clear of objects that race cars could hit, like children or dogs. Unfortunately for the operators of Curitiba, they managed to fail to prevent both from crossing the track in the same practice session. Note: apparently the dogs—and more importantly, the boy in the video below—were not injured.

On Sunday's race, there was also a huge and dramatic crash. Two racers were hospitalized, Fox Sports reports, but were ultimately ok despite some aches and pains.
