pmanngw......I presume that is sarcasim on your part, Franchitti and Wheldon are fantastic racing drivers. You must be a piss poor at driving yourself if you consider them to be 'poor drivers'
With this wreck, when I saw it live on TV I was more scared for Scott Dixon. Dario didn't deal with any sudden stops, but I originally thought that Dixon hit his head on Dario's flipping car. Thank God he spun last minute. Man, Foyt IV really locked them up when he saw Dario flying.
Where Franchitti came close to certain death in this accident, is when his car was upside down and the nose of the oncoming car almost drilled him literally right in the head. Luckily, his car rotated just enough by the time the nose of the car reached him, that the car hit Franchitti's car, instead of his head.
I used to be a Champ Car fan (I can't remember what it was called at the time) until Greg Moore lost his life. I couldn't watch open wheel racing after that. I hope the driver of the car that went airborne was OK.
Hmm... well Weldon went down very much so it was his fault. Offcourse it's a racing incident but 75% of racing incidents are costs because of one racers fault :D
Nicely done....great song choice. Living in Franklin, TN, I see his helicopter flying over from time to time....surviving this AND being married to Ashely Judd. Talk about the luckiest man alive.
Not sure how long the onboard camera would have lasted, but it would have been interesting to see. There are auto racing accidents, and then there are auto racing accidents that as an motorsports fan, you are concerned. I've seen my share. This was one of them. Dario dodged a bullet.
You know, call it chance, but Ashley Judd would have been emotionally crushed if her beloved husband had been injured; I think, the strain would have been more than she could bear. Laugh, I don't even want your autograph.
I was there. That wreck was scary looking

Someone was looking out for Franchitti because it wasn't as serious as it could have been.

Amazing. I just saw him on Larry King Live and except for a bruised and swollen nose, he has no visible signs of any injuries. He's one lucky man!
