Franchitti, Kannaan and the others were very upset even crying, they did a five laps tribute for the indy 500 winner :cry:

Dan leaves a wife and 2 kids too :cry:
Hopefully they will do something to stop this happening again, because it's been a tragedy waiting to happen.

What a racer. Has anyone seen his karting days? Unreal.

RIP.

What a career though. Feel very sad for his family.

The 2012 challenger was tested thoroughly in his hands so he will still be on track.

Its crazy how right before the crash we were onboard with him as he was carving through the field. F***!

Great career. Will be missed. :(
