Tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers to his family, and everyone involved.

Jesus creep, I was at Indy 500 last May and I had a chance to see and even touch this no. 77 car in the team garage.

RIP Dan. And I also have some toughts for Tag. Must be very rough on him.

As a auto enthusiast it's impossible not to feel sad. We all know it is inherently a dangerous sport but It does not make it any easier when we lose one of our "kind". :(

I was just riding with him out at IMS with Team Chevy in a 2011 vert, turning laps at 150MPH and it was one of the best times I had out at IMS! He was a personable guy and said he admired me for my occupation as I admire his.

Dan will be missed as Motorsports has lost a champion and great guy! My prayers to his wife and two young sons.

Just found out about this after watching football all day. I just can't watch that video. I was thrilled with his last Indy 500 win. Won't be the same without him. Utterly heartbreaking.

Rest in peace Dan Wheldon.

This is the second time I've watched my current favorite CART/IndyCar driver die on live TV. (First was Greg Moore in 1999.)

Condolences to Dan's family, friends, crew and all racing fans out there.
