I am a racing fan (mostly NASCAR) and Dan Wheldon was a class act. He will be missed. Prayers going out to his family and friends.

Bottom line is that an oval with banking is too fast for an Indy car. There is just not enough protection around the men and women racing these vehicles to protect them at speeds at a consistent 225 MPH. Once the cars hit top speed they hardly ever let off at these type tracks. Indy will have to curtail racing on banked tracks and stick to flat and road courses.
