MArk my words next season there will be major changes for that track. The 2012 chassis will also make a huge difference in protecting the driver. The drivers had a choice to make and We ALL support their decision. The series winner had already been decided and so had rookie of the year, There was nothing to be gained by racing yesterday. How would YOU celebrate a victory after losing a friend. Did you not see the tears Dario shed while getting strapped in his car. Obviously you have no contact with the racing community. Its a fraternity, a brotherhood understood only by those who are a part if it. Dan Wheldon was charismatic, charming. He was a mans man and a gentlemans gentleman. He was a father a husband and brother, a son and a friend. He will be sorely missed.
So before you start telling those who "DO" How to do IT DONT
Prayers to the entire Wheldon Family
They should have finished the race. There, I told you.
