We all remember what happened on October 16th of 2011. We lost a true champion, a friend in the form of Dan Wheldon in a very tragic accident at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. RIP Dan, we all will miss you.

This features 16 of my buds from URCA and me doing a 2 lap tribute in a 3 by 3 formation in Dan's honor before we ran a 77 lap race afterwards for him as well a few days ago. I wanted to keep this as a separate video due to the nature of it compared to what you would see if I also included the race we ran. With that said, I will upload a recap of the race within the next few days. I hope you really enjoy this though. It was great to be able to get the chance to do this with everyone involved.

  • Thanks for all the awesome comments everyone. It's well appreciated, glad you all enjoyed this so much. I'm also glad you all have such a big mutual respect for Dan as well ^_^

  • Dan Wheldon may be gone, but he lives on forever in all of us. Also, your 77th video. :(

  • @bdc1439 Believe it or not, that is indeed a coincidence...I was not aware of the number at all. I think it was just destiny in how that worked out.

  • 3 lives ended in 1 week. It won't be the same without any of them. Now Huseman, Wheldon, and Simoncelli are racing for God.

see all

  • @TheFUEL83 Yea, all of the wrecks I saw that week made my heart stop, I remember having a dream. The India F1 race was the week after Simoncelli I believe, and I dreamt that there was a huge wreck and Vettel was lost. When I woke up I was so thankful it wasn't real.

  • @yellow1fox22 i thought Jimmie Johnson & Regan Smith died.... Jimmie Johnson wrecked hard a few hours after Wheldon died. Regan smith wrecked a few hours after Simoncelli did and once they both wrecked i thought they died after all the deaths that week i thought they were dead too

  • i cried watching this, great video, 5/5 man!
