Saw the wreck on ESPN before they officially pronounced him dead, nasty. It was a lot like Greg Moore's wreck in that you knew he was dead as soon as it happened.

The one that suprised me was last year at Texas [guessing] with Kenny Breck. That was nasty, yet he survived with little to no injurys. For those of you that dont know it, touched wheels and launched into the fence at ~200mph. Car destroyed itself against the fencing, took a good chunk of the fence out. I thought he was a goner.

177 mph into a stopped car wow.

[Justin B]

Yeah, that was ugly. Gave me chills...

[Ray Smoodiver]

Nasty. RIP.

Pretty flukey, not sure if anyone would have survived that in any series.

[nkell09]

Yep, definitely not good at all. I think one article even mentions that he broke his back a year or two earlier (don't quote me on that).

I'm sure it would be quite a thrill driving indy, but phew, your living on the edge.

Was trying to figure out what exactly he did that made him go into the wall...but obviously there wasn't much about that at this point in time.

Rough stuff, RIP.

I was thinking the same thing. It was just like all of a sudden, he just lost traction and started to slide. Nothing (that I could see) caused it, hopefully an investigation will reveal what happened.
