Rest in peace Dan Wheldon. Seeing the cars do the tribute laps with the bagpipes in the background was very touching. Probably the most emotionnal motorsport-related thing I've ever witnessed. |

Looking at the new car, the closed rear end doesn't look that bad anymore. |

I've closed my eyes after the 3rd lap, too much mental strikes for one night. |

Life is so cruel. This was the last race running with a car without rear wheel fenders. Typical. |

What do you guys expect if they are racing at 400 kmph on ovals? It was just a matter of time. Wheldon, as other europeans in US are just guys who failed in europe so went to race in US. Stop crying like babies and man up! |

It's that Marty Reid was able to maintain himself as well as he did. I've watched two races all year and I was barely able to control myself. I can't imagine how hard it was for him and all the ABC crew, who were good friends with him. |

Dan Wheldon's tribute video made when he was champion back in 2005.
