Rest In Peace Dan. My thoughts and Prayers go out to your family and friends.
Wheldon was killed in the IndyCar Series finale when his car went air born and crashed violently into the catch fence during a horrific 15-car accident on Lap 11 on turn 2. Wheldon died from blunt trauma to the head. Some of the reports keep bringing up the fact that he was racing for a $5 million dollar prize and that he was pushing it to get to the front. But if you watch the videos that are all over YouTube, you will see that his car went air born after another car had. In My Opinion ( I may start a new section here called: In My Opinion, so look for that soon.), the track was to fast for as many cars that were on it. 2, the cars going as fast as 230 mph. Dan had no time to react when he came up on the crash in front of him. I saw one video where it looked like a tire blew out or a tie rod failed on a car in front which could have caused the crash in the first place. They need to look at these videos and see that. It wasn't Dan's fault for the crash, it happened before he got there and the cars were too fast for the track so he had no time to react thus sending his car flying right after another one did. I really wish they would stop saying that he was in the crash because he was chasing that $5 million dollar prize. In My Opinion - that wasn't the case.
We are going to miss this great driver. Rest In Peace Dan. Everyone, please say a prayer for him and his family, thank you.
