Dan Wheldon 1978-2011

One of worst moments in this auto racing season happened. Two-time Indy 500 winner and 2005 Indycar champion Dan Wheldon lost his life in a 15-car wreck at Las Vegas. Hearing the news I shed tears. Lost is a gutsy determined driver along a father and a family man. His performances netted him 16 career Indycar wins including his memorable final victory at this year's Indy 500.

RIP Dan Wheldon. You are racing on a race track up in the heavens along the likes of Greg Moore, Jim Clark, and Dale Earnhardt. You will be missed from race fans all over the world.

This is what Indy 500 meant to me

The final lap of the Indy 500

Drama at its finest pulling at your heartstrings with emotions of excitement, shock, and disappointments. I'm still shocked at the finish of the race. J.R. Hildebrand feels like sickest man of face of the earth. So close to the finish line only to crash. Dan Wheldon pulled off a shocker with his 2nd Indy 500 win. Congrats to Dan Wheldon along with Bryan Herta, Sam Schmidt, and Curb Records for pulling off this win.
