    The hearts of GearHeads around the world are with Dan Wheldon's wife and family tonight after a tragic accident. Although racing is a dangerous sport, we make choices to live life to it's fullest. Indycar racing was Dan's way of maximizing life. I've always believed that success is measured by the memories left behind. Thank you for the great memories Dan!
