Look it up. You'll see a picture of Dan Wheldon. The most promising career I've ever seen in auto racing was tragically cut short yesterday when a fiery 13-car wreck erupted at an IndySeries track. He was a great man. He had won the Indy 500 twice, once in 2005 and again in 2011. He was clearly devoted to racing, but he was also a family man. Gone too soon. He was only 33 years old. He was on his way to single-handedly bringing IndyRacing back on the map. In an interview at Disney World celebrating his Indy 500 win, he talked more about his family than his racing career. A class act.
