RIP buddy. They made a good call on not going in with the race and doing the 5 lap tribute to Dan.

Ya I was totally bummed yesterday when I saw that, sucks. Growing up 1/2 hour from Indy and all my years watching i've never seen a crash quite like this.

Everything happened so quick, it's amazing nobody else was seriously injured

Great to see there are other Christians here. Well said

Hopefully IRL will ban these short track ovals going fwd. Doubt they will ever race there again
Very sad for his family/ PTL

If you are some kind of hard core non-believer, its not too late for you to change your ways

Anyways, I agree that the short ovals are too dangerous & should be deleted from the IRL schedule. More road tracks
