Dan Wheldon, winner of the 2005 and 2011 Indy500, died today in a horrible 15-car crash during the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season finale in Las Vegas. RIP :( so sad to see those kind of things happening in sports.

Was watching this for the last hour after I read about it online. You could tell as soon as the drivers came out of the meeting what the news was. I still cant figure out which car was his. I can't help but notice in the above clip that the were on his in-car camera moments before the first impact. Pretty freaky.

It's the second car that goes airborne. The cockpit goes driver first into the catcher thing and then basically the whole car bursts into flame. Scary stuff.

My condolences to his family.

Rest in Peace. At least he dies doing what he loved I guess. Not much consolation to his with and kids. I heard he had a 7 month old daughter too. That makes me sad.

In my opinion they had too many cars on such a fast track.
