Nasty wreck too. Very sad to see that kind of stuff.

My uncle coached high school football and one of his players was Swede Savage. He was a very nice guy. Stayed in touch with my uncle after he got a little famous.

Yeah it is very sad for anyone to lose his life thats for sure.
I think the learning curve in IRL racing is a bit steep as I saw one interview where the dude said this young man was not ready for the IRL cars yet but that money got him the ride.

My grandfather used to race Indy.  He said that back then a lot more drivers died, plus the fans were at a big risk of dieing too.

It's sad that he died, but he died doing what he loved. We should all be so lucky.

Yup thats what happends when you have rich dumbchits with NO racing knowlege owning teams.

I also saw where they said the yellow light was clearly visible and that they even told him over the radio that there was a yellow flag.
They said from the onboard computer that he just barely hit the brake before impact:O

Some of the other drivers where a little worried about rookies anyways and this kinda drives home there point.

It sucks that people have to die in racing before new safety measures are put into place but again this is why I say they earn ever penny they make.
They make a boo boo  and they either die or suffer horrible injurys.
Baseball and football LOL what happends to them?

He co-owns the team with Bobby Rahal.  I have heard Rahal knows a little about racing.

I read in the newspaper that the impact was near 200mph.. Another driver, i cant remember who, said he entered the corner way too fast to begin with and was not paying attention to his surroundings.

Damn shame.. I always hate to see this happen to guys because I've seen 2-3 wrecks on TV where the driver didnt make it out alive..

On Inside NEXTEL Cup they talked about the wreck. Michael Waltrip speculated that he (Dana) possibly thought the wreck was in another turn. Mikey said he has done the same thing himself.
