Dan Wheldon R.I.P.
« on: October 16, 2011, 09:00:40 PM »
The winner of the Indy 500 this year has died in a crash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Ugly crash for all involved.... 3 others went to the hospital also. They called the race. But all the drivers strapped back in & took 5 very slow laps in memory of him.
Live life like it's the last day!

I read this earlier after it was Tweeted by Kurt Warner.
He was only 33 yrs old.

For some people, it brings comfort when a person goes while doing what they enjoy most in life, but that could never take away the pain, and tragedy of this accident.
