Dan Wheldon has just been pronounced dead after a huge pile up at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Dan Wheldon dies after Indycar crash


It truly goes to show how quickly life can be taken away.
I was a pit crew member for an Indycar team a few years ago and I have had my leg run over in pit lane and almost hit by crashing cars twice. Now I know some of you will say, "Well he knew the risks when he got into the driver seat". And yes thats true, but tons of safty measures have benn put into place to keep injury from occuring.



RIP Dan Wheldon

Thank yall for posting the video's. I was just leaving the house when my buddy who is on dans team called me. He was very shook up. I've watched only 1 crash in person where a diver has died. It is a very very hopless feeling. Just Luke many industries we are all family in racing and as Dan and i were not close. He will be missed.
