Indy Race Car driver Dam Wheldon died Sunday after a massive, fiery wreck at the Las Vegas Indy 300. He was involved in a 15-vehicle pile-up, his car flying over another and bursting into flames. It was the last race of the year for the Indy Car series. The race was red flag and later canceled.
The drivers took to the track for a 5 lap tribute to the fallen driver. This is the last race for Danca Patrick before going got Nascar. 3 other drivers were hurt in the crash encluding championship contender Will Power. All that mean nothing now because of the lost of Wheldon who is was a fan favorite and a person that made you fell like a friend when he would talk to you.
He did not have a full time car this year but raced in the Indy 500 and won it on the last lap when the lead car his the wall in the last corner. I did not see the crash live but when I look back on it. It is on of the worst I have ever seen.
