I normally don't pay much attention to motorsports but this was at Pocono, which is quite close to where I live; a bunch of people from around town were there. It's extremely sad that this happened. Every sport comes with risks, IndyCar driving more than many, I would think, and, as Wilson had said in the wake of Wheldon's death, that's something you have to weigh and consider when you make the choice to go out there. I think Wilson knew that every time he got into that car, there was a small but real chance he wouldn't get out; that's part of what he was being paid for, sure, but more importantly that was a small price to pay for doing what he loved.
In terms of this particular accident, the way it transpired was terribly, tremendously unlucky. The sport should be looking to make improvements to safety when and where they can, but I believe they're already doing that. It's simply a matter of weight + speed = a tangible mortality rate, which is admittedly little consolation when the world loses a husband and father and racer and decent human being.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
