I don't know if any of you here are, but i'm an avid racing fan and I was shocked this morning to find out that Dan Wheldon passed away in an accident at the Las Vegas Indy 300.
He was a quality driver who would probably be celebrated as one of the great formula 1 drivers if he had chose to go that route.

The BBC have wrote up about his illustrious career here, if you want to check it out.

We are avid fans as well. It was indeed a sad day to lose a talented and respected driver. He had a passion for racing, and enjoyed it fully. He will be missed.

Yeah, I heard about it 2. Its very sad that he died this way.

But we all know that he didn't had the safest job in the world. I'm sure that he knew that he was taking a risk every race.

May you rest in peace Dan.
