Published on 10/16/2011
Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner and former Izod IndyCar Series champion Dan
Wheldon died Sunday in a horrific accident at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Wheldon, 33, was trailing a pack of cars when Wade Cunningham slowed after
contact with fellow rookie James Hinchcliffe.
Several cars spun and Wheldon, driving on the track's bottom groove, ran
over the top of another car.
Pippa Mann, J. R. Hildebrand and Will Power also were taken to University
Medical Center in Las Vegas for observation.
Wheldon won the Indianapolis 500 this year and in 2005. He was the IndyCar
champion that year.
Wheldon started Sunday's race, the IndyCar season finale, at the back of the
pack. He was competing for a $5 million bonus offered by IndyCar to any
driver who was not a series regular who could win the race after starting
last.
Despite winning this year's Indy 500, Wheldon had not been able to find a
steady ride for the fully IndyCar season. Earlier this weekend, Wheldon told
Autoweek that he was close to signing a deal with Andretti Autosport, who
we won the Indy 500 with in 2005, for a full-season ride in 2012, taking
over the car being vacated by Danica Patrick, who is moving to NASCAR.
Wheldon is survived by his wife, Susie, and two young boys, Sebastian and
Oliver.
IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said in a statement: "IndyCar is sad to announce
that Dan Wheldon passed away from unsurvivable injuries. Our thoughts and
prayers are with Dan and his family."
After a two-hour delay, the race was canceled following a five-lap salute to
Wheldon by the drivers.
In 1999, CART's season-ending race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.,
saw Greg Moore killed in an early-race crash in turn two.
