Yes, thank you Eric. My husband saw the replay of the accident a couple of times and felt sick. I showed him your article for perspective. He has grown so used to hearing Dan's name with indyCar racing, he thought he couldn't possibly be only 33. It made it that much harder for him to hear and see. Seeing the tribute laps the other racers did somehow relieved him, knowing that we all, fans, fellow racers, fellow athletes, other sports figures - all of us - care an incredible amount.
IndyCar, Dan Wheldon

Thanks for posting that video Eric. I wasn't able to watch it. One of the coolest and saddest things I've ever seen in sports. RIP Dan Wheldon.
