What also sucks is that Indy couldn't get this two-time Indy500 winner, Indycar champion and winner of 16 Indycar races a fulltime ride this year. Instead he had to wait until next year and fill Danica's spot when she goes over to NASCAR to stink up that series. Danica - a bitch that has one one fucking race her whole life, and Weldon - a man, a winner had to wait for that hacky bitch to leave the series to get a ride. Pathetic.

RIP Dan Weldon.

She is hot and and a woman meaning that feminists get wet seeing her trying to "compete" in a man dominated sport.

But R.I.P to the driver.

She is NOT hot. She's a short, stuck up, midget bitch, who has an attitude that makes me want to cunt punt her into oblivion. She's seriously the most stuck up, snot nosed cunt I have ever met in my life. I used to go to the St. Pete Grand Prix every year, I'm talking when it was the Cart Series and Sabastian Bourdais was battling Paul Tracy. I love this sport, and to see her come in, and have an attitude like she did, was fucking disgraceful. All the other drivers except her, understand that you have to engage fans and help the sport grow, not be some stuck up bitch that dismisses everyone. She get's me riled up like no-one's business.

Other drivers, like Scott Dixon, who after a Friday practice at St. Pete talked to me at the grandstands for 10 mins are good people, and I respect them even more. It's a shame she has no respect for the people that want to support her. Oh and while I'm at it, she's a fucking horrendous driver. She shouldn't even be on the track. /Rant

Anyway, I was sick watching the video yesterday. A guy that was all around good, and wanted to drive and win, and wanted to help promote the series get's killed in one of the worst wrecks I've seen? That sucks big time. Barnhart is an embarrassment, and should resign immediately. Dario called that this many cars on such a small track was incredibly dangerous. It ticks me off that safety is thrown out the window sometimes. Just look at the Baltimore race, where a safety vehicle was driving backwards against the on coming cars after a restart. It's just embarrassing.

R.I.P. Dan Wheldon

anyone else feel like Indy is to blame i mean there were far to many cars for the track then on top of that you put a 5 million dollar pot... and you have a close race for the top spot end of season it all seems like a recipe for disaster its a shame he was a great driver and with him signing on to andretti i think he would have had an amazing full time season...RIP

Not a whole lot bothers me but the fact the Dan Wheldon is dead is one of the shittiest things I have heard in a long time. He's the reason I became interested in Indycar, not to mention the fact that he lived 5 minutes down the road and was always kind enough to throw a wave to you. Hell, watcing him pack into the back of a VW GTI was awesome to see, very humble. Its a shame that such a good driver and great guy is gone, far too young.

I heard about this, and it was a very sad thing to see on youtube. I really hope they develop a safer alternative to those catch fences. RIP Dan.

Dan was a true champion he embraced every fan. He was the most down to earth driver I have met. He will be missed.
