No Maxima should ever roll over during maneuvers like that. All gens have been known to 3-wheel during heavy cornering, but none of them should ever roll over unless the roof was loaded.

I think Erjan here is lifting higher than any other maxima I've ever seen....
I remember that day well, he and I both were getting comments from the announcers about our 3 wheelin family sedans. GoldenGate fields lot has the WORST surface you can imagine, chunked our tires like you wouldn't believe.

High center of gravity and skinny tires, you are asking for trouble making a maneuvers like that.
Skinny tires actually resist it as they slide as the slip angles increase. Worst lifts occur with stock suspension, sticky race rubber, and grippy surface.

Looks like the driver did exactly as Matt said and turned left towards the cone with the logo facing. I think I can see the driver leaning right inside the cabin, though probably on a wet seat. Of course not a single course worker is looking towards the Saturn.
looks like a right handed curve... turn left and not hit any cones, would that be a +1 penalty?
If he drove off course and came back on after a cone, then it's a DNF. If he turned around and came back in before the point he went off course, then he just wastes time- no penalty. That's assuming he doesn't hit any cones in the process.
In any case, that run is trash- cones or not- because he killed so much time with the 2-wheel motion and recovering from it.

Did that car actually land on all fours after that? That's insane!
