Terrible crash at The Las Vegas GP

It looks like a war zone on the track and Dan Wheldon just took the worst of it.....team of doctors worked on Wheldon before being medivac to a local hospital.

Full speed

Wheldon's camera

The yellow tarps over the two vehicles don't mean what I think they do, do they? :(

I rarely watch these races, but since this may be Danica's last race. I normally follow NASCAR. This race was more NASCAR like.

The Vegas track should not be used for IRL. There's really no where to go for these cars so they end up going 3-4 wide and then being so low to the ground one little mistake and they are sent flying.

I hope Wheldon is ok, it's just way to scary on how watching his POV camera and that wheel landing right on his head....scary.

On top of that this was the race the IRL CEO offered $5 million to non-regular drivers. They woulda split the purse 50/50 with a randomly selected fan. Hard racing on a psychotic track. Ugh.
