SAY what you want about Racing being a sport. But these guys are putting there life out there every weekend. I know its there choice, BUT Its still something most of us could not do. Battling the I-12 everyday is one thing.

Thank god for the safer barriers...could have been even worse.

Indy cars are so much worse because they just explode when touched.

That's actually by design, they do that to dissipate the energy.

The entire top roll area of Wheldon's car was sheered off.
Chopper just left with Wheldon going to Univ. Medical Center in Las Vegas.

The replay showed Dan at the tail end of the track and it looked like he went full speed into the back of a wrecked car.

certainly possible

various rumours & reports that Dan Wheldon has lost an arm at least, maybe more critical injuries. :( #indycar

Lets hope his Wiki page is wrong.

The encouraging thing was that Paul Tracy made it seem in his interview that Dan would have a long road to recovery, but could recover, as in he wasn't dead or anything.

Damn.
