I love sports. I will watch any type of sports. Well not any type but I was watching the start of the Indy Car race in Vegas. It was the final race of the IZOD season and it ended in big time tragedy.
It was also Danica Patrick final Indy Car. She is moving to NASCAR racing next year (Will she ever win a race? Maybe one day) The race started and Patrick went on the radio to her crew and said things are just not right on the course. She was nervous about something.
Then in lap 12 ALL HELL BROKE OUT!! A tremendous crash took place. Cars was everywhere. Fire was everywhere. Flying in the air. Parts of Indy cars were flying in the air.
After about two hours the word came out the two time Indy 500 winner and this years winner Dan Wheldon was killed at the age of 33. That was not the way to die readers.
Racing is a very dangerous sport. You have to be a special kind of dude to race at 150 to 200 mph. When you race you are taking your life in danger. Most of these cats started racing when they were little kids. It is a passion to them. It is in their blood.
Anyway our prayers go out to the family of Dan Wheldon. May he rest in peace. Gordon Curvey
