Rest in Peace Dan.

Yesterday, the motorsport world lost a great driver and friend. Dan Wheldon (33) was killed in a horrible crash yesterday at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This was the final race of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship season.

Dan’s resume includes the 2005 Indy Racing League IndyCar Series champion, and winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 2005 and 2011. Dan Wheldon wiki

Dan is survived by his Susie Behm and 2 sons, Sebastian (2) and Oliver (7 months). The family lived in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
