I was watching the race and it is a hard day to be a race fan. RIP Dan you were great in and for the sport.

I just heard about this, prayers for his family. The footage of the wreck is scary.

Terrible I love Indycar and it seems like cars are wrecking multiple times each race and every week the drivers come back just fine, i think you kind of forget how lucky it is each time they step right out of the car and walk back to the pit
