For the race fans among us.
Indy Racing League driver Dan Wheldon was killed today in a 15 car accident on lap 12 of the IRL season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Racing is an inherently dangerous sport but today’s race probably more so than most because of the speeds involved. Earlier in the race Wheldon had averaged more than 223 MPH for a lap.
