15 cars.

2 or 3 airborne.

Lots of fire and splosions.

Total and utter carnage on the race track.


On ABC, I'm sure there will be more replays.
=========================

Sad Day

They have a yellow tarp over one of the cars. I'm not exactly sure what it means but it cant be good.

Dan Wheldon seems to be the driver at the focus of the injury.

I figured the tarps meant they were covering blood...was hoping it wasn't death related

It's not.

There are these things called "cars". They have wheels and go really fast. Sometimes people get together to see who can drive one the fastest over a predetermined course.

Apparently Dan Wheldon is the most severely injured. Med-evac Chopper is warming up. I doubt this race is completed.

That yellow tarp is creepy for sure.

They said it was to keep the parts together but I highly doubt that. Had to be for the blood.

I saw a race completed at Watkins Glen in 1991 after J.D. McDuffie died.
