Dan Wheldon R.I.P

Automotive racing lost another driver today, an Indy Car driver.

Dan Wheldon got tangled up in a crash today in Las Vegas today, where 15 cars ended up in the mess.

The clips on YouTube from both aerial and especially in car show how this quickly got out of control.

That just really sucks! So many thing went wrong so fast... what a loss... it will effect all racing forever just like when Dale Earharht passed... as I watched... but it implemented the Hans device... Dan Wheldon had tested and was going to drive a new padded indy car next year... they really do try to make things a safe as possible... but cars are getting faster and faster...

Just was a sad day...

RIP Dan! GodSpeed!
