Listneing to “Amazing Grace” now at the track on TV. R.I.P.
RIP
and just damn.
May God Bless Dan and his young family !!
My husband I go to many Indy races. Have met Dan Wheldon many times (he also lives here in our town, St. Pete, FL). Great guy, great family. This is horrible. The two kids are young.
Dan was one of my favorites... This really hit me hard. I have been sick for 2 hours waiting for the word that I knew would come.
I love watching indycar races, but as I have grown older and get a better feel for mortality, I have become very uncomfortable and anxious watching these races on the high banks. It is like I hold my breath for 2 hours and I find that I have more satisfaction from the checkered flag coming out than my favorite driver winning.
RIP Dan...Great Driver...And you would have been a great play by play man in the booth.
Just thought I would vent with my FRiends.
RIP, Mr. Wheldon.
I wonder why the moderators removed the news about Weldon’s death from the Breaking News and also Front Page news sidebar?! I was reading one of the threads and it disappeared. Only one left is your thread, drewh. Unless someone accidentally pushed the wrong button, I find it highly disrespectful to Weldon and his fans for basically ZOTTING this news by removing it.

Prayers up.
Prayers to all. Memorable win this year at Indy. God Bless the family.
Horrible news did not find out the news till I saw it on my online browser (reminds me of how I found out about Dale E’s death). I saw the interview with Danica Patrick after the accident but before we found out he died and I’m sure Danica will just be heart broken over this. I get the impression they were pretty close.
I am so sad. I loved this guy. I loved his love of life, his love of his wife and child. He was a hero, and great guy, and a great racer.
I am crying as I write this.
My prayers for his family and all those who called him friend.....
