IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon, 33, died Sunday afternoon from injuries he sustained after being involved in a 15 car crash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was a two-time Indy 500 champion winning in 2005 and again this year. The Las Vegas Indy 300 was canceled and all drivers participated in a five lap tribute in his honor. The 2011 IndyCar season ends tragically. This is the series first death since Paul Dana in 2006 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida.
Wheldon is survived by his wife and two young sons.
