Default Dan Wheldon

My heart just DROPPED---Dan Wheldon was lost today. After attending Indy for 25 years, I got to know a lot of people in that community and today we lost a GREAT ONE. I will pray for his family.

Flipped on the TV right after it happened and watched the re-cap. Terrible tragic news for sure - prayers to his family.

Watched the whole thing live on TV. Knew it was bad when the helicopter fired up rigth after the crash. A tragic loss for Indy Car racing.

RIP Dan
