It is said that the hardest laps a driver turns are the four laps trying to qualify for the Indy 500. I think we have five here that were much harder.

In St. Petersburg Florida they give it to you “The Dan Weldon Way”

I hope indycar or someone can put together some great tributes of footage from him on and off the track. You will be missed Dan. :(

RIP, Dan. You and your family are in my prayers.

Dan Wheldon is such a hero. He will be missed forever. True Gent and Champion. RIP.

Goodbye Dan. God bless and thank you for the years of hard racing, and sheer entertainment. RIP

You will be forever missed Dan you where an amazing racer! :'(

Rest In Peace, Dan! Descanse en Paz! Dan Wheldon! Regards from Mexico

R.I.P. I,from Tokyo, NEVER forget you, "DAN WHELDON"

RIP Dan, thanks for all the exciting and fun memories!

Impressive gesture of his driver colleagues. I get emotional watching this tribute every time. RIP Dan Wheldon.

It would be two years this month!!! I am still heartbroken!!! He was the crux of my Indy fanfare!!! He is still missed!!!

he died doing what he loved god bless dan rip

I will never forget this day. I've been a fan since I was 6. I spent that off season wondering if I really wanted to watch a sport that could do that to people. I'm still a fan, but it hits differently now. Watching Dan's sons succeed in karts is so cool and I'm sure he would be proud. Seems like all his uncles are.

RIP Dan Wheldon have fun racing with the gods in heaven and may you watch over racers in the years to come thank you Dan

Great driver and a great man. R.I.P. Dan Wheldon 1978-2011.

It was hard to go through this, I was a humongous fan of him and remember seeing him winning the 500 with my 98 hat on and cheering for him, screaming and crying when he won that race I wish he would come back 😭😭💔💔

R.I.P Dan

Danny Wheldon was Regarded as The World Greatest Indy Car Racing Driver

A hero is not someone who drives a race car or who dies in a race car crash. Dan Wheldon was known by millions and it was how he was with those people that make him a hero. Most of us will never realize our dreams but he lived out his dream and encouraged kids asking for autographs to act on their dreams no matter what they are. He was good and caring person and THAT is why he is a hero. My son IS a soldier and calling Dan a hero does not make my son less of a hero. Just a different kind.

farewell Dan, rest in peace forver

Forever in our hearts...

R.I.P. Dan great drive!

Descanse en Paz campeón, saludos y condolencias desde Panamá.

RIP to a champion! 1978-2011

THE WORST DAY OF INDYCAR SERIES RIP FROM BRAZIL THANKS CHAMPION!!!!!!

R.I.P Dan Wheldon

As a Brit, you and dario are the only reason I watch IndyCar! Seeing that crash was horrible, and I didnt realise the severity of it. Dan, you will be severely missed. May your family be safe! R.I.P Dan Wheldon!

We've Lost One of the greatest driver in the World. R.I.P Dan.

RIP Dan yes give the win to Dan !!!

That is why racing is the answer to all of our problems, but then We saw racing invented new problems, Real devastating problems, The tragic of Dan Weldon showed us why, he was the perfect balance between us and racing, he taught us that life needs a balance, racing can improve our lives but still can people, if we focus on one expense of the other that’s when the balance is lost, The racing world will find its way again, this time with Dan Weldon as our Compass

@DOWSPOWERLEVEL I have major respect for you already. Dan gave his life doing what he loved, and the fact that people can't accept that makes me sick.

R.I.P Dan Wheldon 1978 - 2011

I am a huge fan of Dan and I had the pleasure of working with him on a Target commercial. He was so full of energy and he lit up the set with his presence. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and kids. We lost a great man today.

Descanse em paz Dan, sentiremos sua falta. um grande piloto!!!!

Danny Wheldon was Regarded as The World Greatest Indy Car Champion Racing Legend in The World!.

To all Indy Car drivers, thank you for such a spontaneous, simple and moving tribute to one of your own. I'm not a great fan of the sport, but you show there are more important things than racing and that is to show comradeship for one of your own. Never forget Dan and all the others before him who have gone before, in all you do

RIP Dan Wheldon! you'll be missed!!

2021 remembered this tribute video for Dan Wheldon....

Still can't believe he is gone.

idk what to say... ive been in tears since the first 5 seconds of this video.... YOU WILL BE MISSED MR WHELDON!!!! your home now...

I’m sorry, guys, that you had to lose such a wonderful driver in order for your series to grow.

So damn sad to hear this... RIP Dan Wheldon Сondolences from Russia to his friends, family and all of his fans.

Descanse em Paz Dan Wheldon. O Brasil está de Luto pelo esporte.

breathtaking.........thks

So sad but such a great tribute to a great man RIP Dan and the #77. I wish NASCAR would do this if a driver passed away...it would touch a lot of people

I am from Buckinghampshire as well, and was so shocked when I heard this. I am a huge fan of formula 1, and know off the great safety measures they have there. This shocked me as this crash wasn't a freak accident, it was a racing incident and I do think Indycar really needs to look at it's safety in the light of this.

Indycar series has lost a true superstar. My thoughts are gone out to his family and friends. R.I.P Dan Wheldon. 1978-2011.

Happy Birthday Dan

Que homenagem mais do que merecida para o Dan Weldon!!! Foi emocionante demais ver a comoção de todos no circuito de Las Vegas Estados Unidos!!! Descansa em paz Dan Weldon!!!

9:53 echoing the words of the great ayrton senna rest in peace Dan

truly emotive 5 laps... is just sad this to happen

As the father of two year old twins this really hits home to think of what two year old Sebastian Wheldon is going through right now. My prayers go out to Sebastien, Oliver and Susie Wheldon. There was no one better liked in Indy Car. Life is fragile and this is a reminder to us all to appreciate those around us while we can. Rest In Peace Dan, you are missed by many.

R.I.P. Dan Wheldon

Sad day for IndyCar, British motorsport, and the Wheldon family. I read that his former teammate Dixie said that he and Emma would do whatever they could for Suzie, Sebastian, and Oliver. God bless you, Scott. Maybe the $5 million prize could be donated to support Dan's family if need be. I can't imagine what this was like for Dario and TK. They've been through this before with another close friend; Greg Moore.

RIP Dan! You will Be Missed! Thoughts are with Your Family!!! You shall always be Remembered for all the Highlights of your Career and the Future for the development on the New 2012 Indy Car!!! RIP!!!

That's just to show you that auto racing is the most dangerous sport in the world. RIP Dan and all others that died doing what they loved so much.

He was a great guy

R.I.P. less We Forget Dan..

i've cried very much,because the world lost a champion of indy,and the champion of the life

🙏🏻our thoughts and prayers are for you Dan

Dan will be missed My family and friends

R.i.p Dan Wheldon 2005 and 2011 Indianapolis 500 champion

Dan, We as race fans will hold your memery as a champion. Any time a life is taken it is a sad time, but we all know how you and all your felow drivers love moter sports. God speed.

They say the hardest laps a driver will ever drive are the four laps when you qualify for the Indianapolis 500. I believe for those nineteen drivers, those five laps were the hardest of their careers. R.I.P. Dan Wheldon. You were a champion both on and off the track and you will be missed dearly.

hardest working man in indycar more wins than most. Schooled the regulars and could never get a 3rd of the deal Danica could. Props to the unrecognized master of indycar racing.

R.I.P Dan, gone but never forgotten

Donde quiera que estes Dan W. Descansa en paz...Te extrañaremos. Desde Mexico, D.F.

RIP Dan weldon from Canada

Its a sad sad day. RIP Dan Wheldon.

Dan we will never forget you

Rest in peace Dan Wheldon. A sad day for motorsports.

Grande piloto. Homenagem merecida.

R.I.P. Dan Wheldon, from Brasil, we lost Senna.

Give Dan Wheldon the win.

The new Dallara car should get a name with DW (Dan Wheldon) in it. Thanks to him we have such a good developed car. But he will never take part in a race with it. Black day in motorsports, Dan I will NEVER forget you!

I was at the race when he died. All i saw were cars on fire and tons of smoke. Rip

Un pensiero per tua mogli ed i tuoi bimbi. Ciao, Dan

I feel very mad that he, Dan Wheldon, had to die in my lifetime.

I made an NASCAR Racing 2003 Season car in tribute of Wheldon. Because I felt it was needed, I'm not only one who made a tribute car as well.

At least he had both big celebrations: the championship in '05 and the Indy 500.

At least he went doing what he loved doing.

GIve the win to Dan and the 5 milion $ to the family, I agree.

I toured this track three months ago. He died over the tunnel where I entered a race track infield for the first time.

@jjthebeerman Even if they don't give him the win,he's still a WINNER in my book.R.I.P Dan You will be missed.

i prefer formula one and never watched indy racing before but this is a sad day for motorsports..sad to see someone died for doing something they love..rest in peace dan wheldon

The only fitting tribute would be to give the money from the race to his wife & young kids!! Well done the drivers for doing the laps of honour in such a difficult time It's about time they made Indy Car slower...there's no need to do 220mph...I'm from Glasgow and we have F1 cars do around 150mph and we still get loads of entertainment. RIP Dan Wheldon!!!

And NBC sports and NBC versus before NBCSN he was telling about the new cars coming on 2012

@jjthebeerman and the 5 MIL to his family he was going for!

R.I.P Dan does any know the song played on the bagpipes i cant remember the name

Poor Oliver has to grow up with no father. :(

RIP Dan.

R.I.P. Dan Wheldon, shame you never got race the car you developed.

RIP Dan

Give the $5 million bonus to his family RIP Dan

Coolest. Tribute. Ever.

dying from a car crash dose not make him a hero people..... may he rest in peace.....

@NASCARwolf20 yup, thats true! he died doing what he loved :)

安らかにお眠り下さい

彼の魂は永遠に、私たちの心の中に生き続けるでしょう。 Requiescant In Pace. Dan Wheldon.
