Saw him win Indy... and saw his pre-race interview today...

and thought, what a great guy... here's a real ambassador to his sport.

What a shame... RIP Dan Wheldon.

The announcers were talking about him and had the camera in his car rolling as the wreck started.  They cut away to get a bietter picture of the whole crash, thankfully, but it's interesting that they were with him at that time.  Always sad to see something like this take place.  :( :pray
