I was reading a sad article about Wheldon and how he spent his last hours before the crash. He spent it with his wife getting tattoos of their initials on their wrists.
This whole thing reminds me of Dale Earnhardt's fatal crash at the 2001 Daytona 500, and Pierre Levegh's fatal crash at Le Mans in 1955.
Dale Earnhardt's death -the reason why the HANS device is now required, and why the "new car" is in existence.
Pierre Levegh (1955 Le Mans crash) -the reason why there is now a chicane in the Mulsanne Straight. Actually, it was this crash that changed the sport of auto racing.
Sad part about all of it is it usually takes someone to lose their life in order for more safety features to take place. Most of the time these safer features work, rarely they don't. The SAFER barrier worked for Jimmie Johnson at Charlotte on Saturday night, it did not for Wheldon at Vegas. He will be missed.
