Must be to do with the high constant speeds and load on the tyres and suspension.

..Conway underwent surgery on Sunday to repair fractures to his lower left leg and is expected to undergo another surgical procedure later this week.
The 26-year-old also suffered a compression fracture of one of his thoracic vertebrae and will be fitted with a back brace for three months, Indy Racing League director of medical services Dr. Michael Olinger said.
The crash occurred after Conway hit Ryan Hunter-Reay, which launched his car into a fence and disintegrated.
