Pretty scary wreck, prayers going out.

I saw it. Hope Dan Wheldon is ok. Doesn’t look good.

Been watching, they now say that Wheldon WAS on the helicopter, no other info coming out. His car was flat, when they took it off the track.

Channel surfing and came upon this race and they said it had been black flagged at that point for an hour and 15 minutes. Sooo I Just went on Utube and watched a slow motion from above. Oh My!
As bad a wreck as I’ve ever seen.
Prayers to all involved.

I’ve never seen anything like it. I thought sure someone had died when they put the yellow tarp over that one car.

Saw the replays of wreck. Weldon and at least one other were airborne. Very nasty.

[Chode]

wasn't watching, can somebody tell me what caused it??? thx

[ConservativeChris]

Dan Wheldon has died, Ending race, in Dan Wheldon’s honor.

I saw some speed channel discussion yesterday and they talked about the danger of this field size and this track. I haven’t seen a list of everyone involved, but it seems that Weldon is the only serious injury at this point.

Very sad. The way Tony Kanaan was breaking up it just seemed a lot worse than expected.

Ironic in the extreme that this occurs in the same state as that recent Reno Air Race tragedy although so far as I can tell no spectators were injured here. These are very dangerous activities and these machines are running on the knife-edge of skill and performance. That means that there is almost no room for failure by driver, pilot or machine.

God bless all who challenge the limits because by doing so not only do they thrill us but the technology they pioneer frequently becomes our own safety nets.

I think they should stop running indy cars on NASCAR tracks. Very dangerous...
