RIP Dan.you are one of the best in indycar's history.I feel very depressed for his famliy,his friends,and his crew.today october 16 2011,will be a day of remberance for Dan wheldon,who will be rembered around the world. Dan Wheldon 1978-2011 RIP
@thistle4celtic1 Just surprised you've never heard of him. I thought you were trolling. McRae was a WRC champion and also the face of a series of racing video games.
we us racing fans know motor racing is one of the most exciting sports to watch, but unfortunately it is a dangerous sport, people do get injured or killed in unfortunate circumstances and today we lost a champion in dan wheldon, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time, we will never forget you dan :(
I'd just like to note that I am disgusted in Indycar, for even allowing 34 INDYCARS run on a 1.5 mile race track. I really don't know if I'll be watching next season I'm just so frustrated with the lack of respect the drivers for each other at times.
Such a tragic waste r.I.p Dan your name will live on in motor racing heaven as the legend u was I'm sure your talking racing with the likes of Senna as the world grieves your passing
However safe motorsport gets, this sort of thing still happens. It was inevitable that this sort of thing would happen again at some point. So f***ing tagic though. Hate to see it.
This is terrible for all the whole IZOD Indycar Series.
It's just terrible when things like this happen and they allways seam to happen to some of the greatest drivers. R.I.P to Dan Wheldon, you will allways be remember and be in all our hearts. :(
I don't really watch racing, but I see the crash highlights the media plays. I have to say that's one of the worst crashes I've ever seen. Multiple cars turning into flying fireballs. Crazy. RIP to Dan Wheldon. A shame to see a man lose his life in sports. Always a tragedy.
R.I.P Dan. I can't watch the video knowing what I know now, I just wanted to pay my respects. We will never forget you, you're a legend Dan and may you live on in the memories of your fans and all fans of motorsport.
Terrible terrible accident. Indycar is not as safe as it could and should be. Demand reviews and improvements after this incident. F1 is the benchmark. RIP Dan Sheldon, may your death not be in vain
this is why izod should stop racing ovals. look at formula 1 they race technical races never an oval. just cause you can go fast doesn't mean your better. when will american racing wake up.
Thanks btw kingboru86 is a moron..who wants to see people crash at 200mph and get injured? Also, why did he search this racing video and know about the crash if he wasn't involved and cared about any form of racing. What an idiot
How is Will Power still alive?!? He rammed a car, flew 200 ft. at a height of about 15 ft. at 200 m.p.h., smacked a car, then the wal, then the fence, and THEN CAUGHT ON EFFING FIRE!
@xPoPGMANx They havent released Dans condition yet. Will Power is in the hospital with back pain, and Pippa Mann and J.R. Hildebrand are in with dizziness.
Awesome!!!! Its great watching people wreck their corporate sponsored vehicles and to watch em burn. And if those drivers are hurt who cares, their dumbasses think driving in a circle is a sport. Crash and burn baby!!
That is up to the drivers. Many of them enjoy oval racing and don't want to see it go away. This safety nazi attitude has gone way too far in recent years.
My wishes go out for Dan Weldon and his family. This is the worst crash that I have personally seen since Greg Moore's crash at California Speedway and that devastating IRL crash at Texas with Kenny Brack(?).
Most destruction that I have seen in a mulit-car crash since the big IRL crash at Atlanta in 2001, the 25-car pileup at Talladega in 2005 and the 2001 Daytona 500 with Tony Stewart soaring through the air.
I hope Dan Wheldon will be okay and pray for his care. I hate to hear another indycar death since Paul Dana in Homestead. Lucky other drivers are okay. Never seen a big one like this one in indycar unlike NASCAR, but the only time is at Michigan (only 6 to 8 cars involve).
Haha(: this is really funny! Just like dale jr. They got fucked up! Great stuff
