boyst Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 RIP Flashbacks of Dale, hopefully he did not suffer either.
Dorkington Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Indeed... horrible accident. RIP. Also, I want to say... it's amazing that cars can go around the track at 200mph, crash into each other, set on fire... and there was only one death.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I hadn't realized those cars had gotten so small. They look like Go Karts. What do they weigh, like 1200 pounds… and 1000 HP? Those guys are unbelievable. RIP, Dan.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Terrible. Just terrible. It's incredible that this doesn't happen more often.
UConn James Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Drivers had been concerned about the high speeds at the track, where they were hitting nearly 225 mph during practice. Their concerns became reality when contact on Turn 2 sent cars flying through the air, crashing into each other and into the outside wall and catch fence. I'm not going to say that racing is evil, but there comes a point at which it's too fast.
dayman Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 RIP ...that crash was the most insane thing I've ever seen...
Mark Vader Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Horrifying. RIP Dan Wheldon God be with his family.
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 No words to describe the sorrow! R.I.P.!!
BuffaloBud Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Great driver and even better person. Amazing that he could not hook up a permanent ride for the season. It will make for a very odd / difficult Indy next year.
KD in CA Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Holy ****, Dan Wheldon was killed? Wow....that's awful. RIP
BuffaloBill Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Very sad ...prayers go out for all involved.
Pneumonic Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 These drivers are playing RR each and every time they strap on the helmet and take these cars around the track to race. I'm surprised, but terribly relieved, more deaths don't happen. So sad that a father and husband is killed tragically due to a sporting event.
Peter Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 RIP. He was a very good driver and seemed like a good guy. As a father of two, I feel horrible about this even more so.
shrader Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I wouldn't want to sit in the open like that driving at 40 MPH. It's just crazy reading through that story and seeing the only other injury mentioned as a burned finger.
Donald Duck Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 RIP Dan Wheldon, what a horrible crash I'm glad Danica Patrick is switching over to Nascar
