They are going to replay the crash once more. I don't agree with this. A fatal crash should be off limits.

I have to applaud Indycar and it's teams for this response to Dan's untimely passing. I believe this to be an unprecedented response.

I agree, they should stop showing it. The one good thing ABC should be commended for though, is that they stayed live for over two hours, until we got the update.

I agree. As hard as it is to watch this thing through the tears, this is a very special tribute. A fitting one for not only one of the great, great drivers of his generation, but one who was also universally loved by the race fans.

Jerry, have you (or anyone else) ever seen or heard of such a response to such an unwelcome tragedy? I feel as though I've witnessed an 'historic' event on the part of the teams and sanctioning body and the TV.

I've never seen anything like it, Sam. Like you, I think we all saw an amazing outpouring of respect, for this driver.

I'm young compaired to most on here. Worst wreck I have ever seen. I still can not believe what I seen. The wreck looked like something in a bad racing movie. We lost a good one today. Its a blessing that we did not lose any others.

The racing community lost a great ambassador. Here's to Dan Wheldon, a husband, a father, and a racer.
