Dan Wheldon has been killed in a major 15 car crash at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I think he also just had victory at Indy earlier this year. Rest in peace, Dan.

He did, he won the Indy 500 earlier this year in dramatic fashion. And now he'll never get to defend it...or more importantly see his kids grow up.
This is the dark side of racing. I was watching today IndyCar race and knew right fom the start this was a bad one. Dan was a great racer, he was a late entry to this race as promotion with IndyCar that would have given him and a fan $5 million if he could race up and win the race from starting last. He was moving up when the accident occured, maybe he could have done it or at least made it interesting.
My prayers are with the entire Wheldon family. R.I.P. Dan.

Seeing those cars go airborne, it almost reminds me of the Big One during the 2001 Daytona 500 when Tony Stewart's car flipped.
