I was saddened to hear that Dan Wheldon had died but you motorsport is filled with death especially in Formula 1. The 1950 was the bloodiest decade in the sport of F1. The entire Scuderia Ferrari driver lineup was wipe out and death in the sport continued up to the Imola GP at San Marino where the weekend suffered two fatalities of Roland Ratzenberger and 3 time world champion Aryton Senna. No driver has been killed since Senna's death in Formula 1. Indy 2 deaths in 5 years, not good.
I was there, though we went back to the hotel before this happened. I didn't want to be in public when I found out what was going on, because we all suspected it. I still have dreams, though now instead of dreaming of that day, I dream of going back, standing at that spot in turn 2, reflecting, and paying my respects. One day, I'll go back to do just that.
may choruses of angels welcome dan into paradise, and with lazarus, the poor man, may he have eternal rest. in nomine patri, fili, et spiritu sanctu. amen
The bit at when the cars all come out of the turn where 'IT' happened in perfect formation and then it shows them from above gleaming in the sun, and the Amazing Grace is playing too - really sad knowing that a champion died that day...great way to honour him though and great sign off line from the commentator :(
Goodbye Dan Wheldon...we will never forget you...RIP
RIP and all those americans always at an indy 500 race always go yeeha like bloody rednecks oh and by the way dan weldon wasnt american he was scottish
I've watched all types of motorsports(fan of all of it) since I was a kid, and this is by far the saddest and most touching moment I can remember. Classy move by IndyCar and their drivers.
never met that man but just by seing him race i knew who was to me and the loss of anyone you may know in real life or by seing them as real people on tv its almost the same what a sad sad day in indy racing
I don't care what anyone says, IndyCar did a damn fine thing by organizing the 5-lap tribute. Wish NASCAR could have done something like that for all the guys who've died over the years. I watched this unfold LIVE, and knew DW lost the battle as soon as the ESPN guys confirmed it was him that hit the wall. Such a sad thing......RIP Dan Wheldon, this shot's for you buddy.
There are no words. My roommate and I saw the crash happen live while flipping between football games. My heart just sank when it happened. RIP Dan Wheldon. These drivers go into these races knowing the risks, so nobody should call them stupid.
I'm part of it too but what a fucking vile generation of people this decade has offered. Viral, self-centered, self-indulgent, vain and gluttonous people. Just no emotion what so ever! R.I.P Dan! x
Those final words from Marty Reid make for one of the most powerful calls in sports history. I arrogantly kidded myself that fatalities in top level motor racing were virtually a thing of the past, that it wouldn't be a horrible spectacle which my generation would have to endure. I've now seen two of my racing idols - Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli - buried in the space of four days. Boy, was I ever wrong. :-(
Thank you to the Versus crew for shutting up and not talking over that scene, Eddie and Scott know a bit about horrific crashes and loss and they handled that horrible event with class and dignity. Going to Indy next year is going to be a melancholy experience to be sure. You will be missed Dan, it won't be the same without you there.
It does not matter what type of racing it is, be it F1,F2,GT,Indy etc...These brave drivers need to be respected and honoured for what they do or what they did..I will never forget the day when Senna died..Nor will i forget this..Past and present lets just remember them..Dan Wheldon...On the grid for Heavens next race.
I think Marty Reid did a phenomenal job with the announcement and how he handled the situation. That final good bye at the end gets to me everytime. What a fitting way to end the broadcast.
In Dan's memory, I think that they should make a huge advancement in safety and get the sport back on the right track because the fact that Dan wasn't a household name like some big name NASCAR drivers just isn't fair :(
Dan Wheldon, your career and your legacy are an inspiration to us all. I am sorry that two boys will never know their father, but know your father was a great man. - R.I.P
Dan Wheldon your career and you legacy are an inspiration to us all, I am sorry that two boys will have to grow up without a father, but know that your father was a great man.
RIP Dan!!! You will be Masively missed!! Truly Incredible Driver!
Message to IndyCar: I love IndyCar but For Fucks sake get off Ovals! Leave them to Nascar! These cars would be alot better suited to like of Laguna Seca, Road America, Sebring and so on! And that goes for the DW01 of next year! Take a leaf out of F1's book regarding Safety!! Slow the cars down in straights and make faster in the corners!!!
As long as I live I will never forget the last line that Marty says in this. "People always ask why I sign off until we meet again, because goodbye is always so final. Goodbye Dan Wheldon." R.I.P Dan, you will be missed. Died at the young age of 33. I love this sport as well as NASCAR. But I have gotten to dislike it over the years because of all the pointless deaths. But at least Dan and many others died what the loved doing. RACING.
Mrs. Wheldon should be given that $5 million giveaway that her husband risked - and lost - his life over. It won't bring him back, but it might help her in raising her two sons.
Goodbye Dan Weldon, and may you be found in the presence of a loving and forgiving God who created you to be with Him forever. You were doing what you truly enjoyed and you represented your lifestyle with honor and dignity. God never forgets the good we do for this planet of fools.
WTF is with people making fun of this. A MAN DIED!!! He deserves some respect. Its amazing to see people who were competing against eachother give it all up and come together to mourn and celebrate the life of one of their own. Even though its sad and he did go before his time, he died doing what he loved, close to those he loved. He will be remembered as a hero. RIP Dan Wheldon
That voice in the background, must be the announcer at the track. If so, I think he should have just kept his mouth shut. Nobody wants to hear a frieking announcer. What a frieking ego. People want to be in quiet, and try to make sense of the moment.
i know i dont really follow this racing but when i was tolled about this fatal crash i had to see for m self. this is a sad day for his family and fans. r.i.p dear falow race indy driver let ur soul go to race haven. sorry that u died a young age and in ur prim. god bless this soul. and let him in with open arms.
@Coolboy500aa MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR DAMNED SOUL!!!!!!!!
HOW CAN YOU BE PROUD FOR A MAN DIEING DOING WHAT HE CAN TO KEEP THE FANS HAPPY????!!!!!!! HE IS A CHAMPIONSHIP RACER WHO IS LOVED BY HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND HIS FANS!!!!!!!
#1 RESPECT THE DEAD!!!!!!!
#2 I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL YOU HEARTLESS ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i could deal with everything watching this video accept right at the end when Jack Arute stated: "Why do you always say until next time instead of goodbye?" "Because goodbye seems so final, goodbye Dan Wheldon." I will say this...I have known people who have sacrificed for our country and died out in the god forsaken sand of Afghanistan...but that line just made my cry all over again like a little child who lost their best friend...so I agree Goodbye Dan Wheldon and may you be at peace always
@SoReckless24 Ik but I'm saying out of respect for dan, we shouldn't dislike the video. It's just not the right thing to do in my opinion. I loved Dan and I this is how i'm paying my respects, by spreading the word of what a good man he was RIP Dan :'(
@collboy500aa u are a sick fuck its people like u that are just trying to slow society down with imaturity of a 10 year old and how do u think he got to race huh...u have to be pretty smart to drive indy u couldent evendrive I fuckin bike u dumbass can't wait to se what the devil has in store for u like if leave a comment if u agree.
@Coolboy500aa it just makes sick to my stomach that there are actually people like you out there who hide behind computers and mobile phones and spout this vitriolic bile and the fact that it's adults doing it just makes it even more difficult to comprehend. i wouldn't even expect that from a 13 year old.
@coolboy500aa IM GOING TO HUNT U DOWN AND SLIT YOUR NECK U SICK EVIL BASTARD SLAGGIN AND MOCKING A FELLOW BRIT HE HAD A YOUNG FAMILY AND WAS ONLY DOING SOMETHING HE LOVED TO SUPPORT THEM LIKE ANY OF US WOULD !! GOD BLESS DAN HIS FAMILY AND THE UK !!!
@Coolboy500aa that is just terrible... I can't believe there are people like you out there thinking like that, actually i think your the only one seriously disgusting.
@Coolboy500aa people like you are a waste of skin,fucking pathetic assholes you have no heart at all maybe you should spend less time playing world of warcraft and more time going to a therapist because you need healp.
@Coolboy500aa you are an ASSHOLE. I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL. PEOPLE LIKE YOU PISS ME OFF. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU DID LIKE THIS AND PEOPLE SAID WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT YOU????? JACKASS!!!!!!!!
Is there anyway to report people like Coolboy500aa for leaving such a horrible disgusting comment on i video like this? That man should be Ashamed of him self.
R.I.P Dan Wheldon
May his friends and family remember him with Pride, love and Joy at the wonderful life he lived.
@Coolboy500aa YOU MUST LEAD AN EXTREMELY SAD LIFE, A 30 YEAR OLD MAN TROLLING ON VIDEOS OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEINGS DEATH, BUT OF COURSE ALL YOUR FRIENDS (IF YOU HAVE ANY) WILL THINK YOU'RE THE MAN BUT YOU'RE JUST PATHETIC
@jamie24cfc Here it is hoped that Dan rest in peace, we do not need your comments acids - qui si spera che Dan riposi in pace,non ci servono i tuoi commenti acidi
@jamie24cfc i totally agree with you on this! who the fuck does that guy think he is! Dan Wheldon was and will always be a great man. Coolboy u sir are trash and have no respect what so ever!
@mikehusky85 thank you very much mike. it just makes sick to my stomach that there are actually people out there who hide behind computers and mobile phones and spout this vitriolic bile and the fact that it's adults doing it just makes it even more difficult to comprehend. Coolboy500aa is a 30 year old man ffs, i wouldn't even expect that from a 13 year old.

@SoReckless24 Ik but I'm saying out of respect for dan, we shouldn't dislike the video. It's just not the right thing to do in my opinion. I loved Dan and I this is how i'm paying my respects, by spreading the word of what a good man he was RIP Dan :'(

@Coolboy500aa it just makes sick to my stomach that there are actually people like you out there who hide behind computers and mobile phones and spout this vitriolic bile and the fact that it's adults doing it just makes it even more difficult to comprehend. i wouldn't even expect that from a 13 year old.

@mikehusky85 thank you very much mike. it just makes sick to my stomach that there are actually people out there who hide behind computers and mobile phones and spout this vitriolic bile and the fact that it's adults doing it just makes it even more difficult to comprehend. Coolboy500aa is a 30 year old man ffs, i wouldn't even expect that from a 13 year old.

Marty Reid did do a good job. Paul Page also would've done well. I dread to think how Todd Harris would've handled it.
