esoxansteel Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I sorry to report that Dan Wheldon past away from his injuries, in a 15 car pileup on the last race of 2011. The race was cancelled, a 5 lap coast around the track was carried out to honour Dan by the remaining 19 cars, he leaves behind a wife and 2 young boys, thoughts and prayers to Dans family, and to all race fans.

woodenboater Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 My heart breaks for his wife and two kids, she was most likely was trackside watching it all. The organizers are going to be facing a full on assualt over this....too many cars, track too fast and some racers who probably didn't belong on the oval not to mention the $5 000 000 pot. This was as bad a pileup as I've seen and can't recall the last time I saw as may cars launching and hitting the wall. I never felt really comfortable watching open wheels on speed ovals unlike Nascar cars which are veritable tanks by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
