What is happening right now is these drivers not just Jimmie but alot are speaking out against open-wheel oval racing, but they are speaking from emotion. Sadness because they just lost one of their own, and to some of them/many of them a great friend. Fear because they themselves are being faced with their own mortality. And finally concern, concern for the Wheldon family, other drivers and even themselves. We all have to greive in our own way and many people attack whatever they can to blame it for the cause when really what happened is a great driver, man, father, husband, son, brother(however you choose to label him) lost his life doing what he loved. It was a freak accident with a tragic result. The memories will remain but the pain sadness and fear will with time subside and we will all be back to doing what we love, watching, working on, or driving race cars. Dan loved racing and so do we, lets honor him more by continuing the sport as it is, safty improved, but none the less still racing whenever, where ever and under any circumstance.
RIP Godspeed Dan.
