RIP Dan Wheldon

Horrible accident today. Not a Camaro topic, but worth making all aware. Very Sad. Prayers for his family and the other injured racers.

I was at LVMS watching the IZOD World Champion today and witnessed this tragic accident. To see so many indycars flip up in the air and burst into flames will forever be in my memories. RIP Dan Wheldon

So sad to see such a great Drver, taken from us so early in his life.


My Thoughts and Prayers for his Family in this very difficult time!

And in one of the cruelest twists of irony a new car that has body work behind the rear wheels to help prevent cars from getting airborne when they run into the back of another.

RIP Dan and prayers to his wife and young sons.
