Indeed an awful day for IRL drivers, fans, owners and crew.

Prayers for Paul Dana and his family.

It's a reminder of how dangerous this sport is.

I was watching the race when CART drive Greg Moore/Players died from a horrific crash in '99. His car was in tiny pieces all over the track.

I was there when he won his first CART race at the Milwaukee Mile and Greg was one of my favorite drivers.

RIP Greg.

Not to quibble, but Moore's car was well off the track when he hit the wall. He lost control and skipped across the grass for about a hundred yards; his car became airborne, and hit the wall at a 90-degree angle to the ground, driver-side first. It was sickening.
