How do the cameras in race cars seem to ALWAYS be pointing at the right thing at the right time?

Question

Does every car camera have it’s own operator?

Whenever there is a crash in nascar or similar the camera ALWAYS seems to be pointing in the right direction, even if the crash only takes half a second, far too short of a time for somebody to switch to the camera controls, then move it around to get the crash in shot?
