HabsTrick450 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn08nh7zoto Horrible, horrible crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

YeahBud Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
