Default IndyCar Drier Dan Wheldon Died from injuries in 15-car wreck in race at Las Vegas

Sad news today:

Was not sure if someone had him in his car during Mid-Ohio. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Dan was a truly great guy among, often arrogant, pro racing drivers. He never seemed annoyed at fan questions and always had time to sign an autograph even when he was obviously in the middle of more important matters. He will be greatly missed both on and off the track. RIP Dan.

I took some of my memorabilia and I'm having a shadow box built for it.

I think the memorial at Conseco Field House is today. If I didn't have work I would have gone.
