This is an awful day. A sad day. I can only think of Dan's family.... his two young sons, his wife, his parents. Absolutely horrific.

This incident reminds me Greg Moore's death almost 12 years ago. Very hard to take in and comprehend.

They interviewed the cagey veteran Paul Tracy and it was interesting that he voiced his concern for the younger drivers and how they were handling the situation. Not to be cold, but Tracy has seen a lot of death and horrible injuries in his career and seemed to be taking it all in stride.

They do all know this is part of motor sports. They all say so after a tragic incident like today but that in no way makes it any easier to see as a race fan, competitor or friend. Rest in peace Dan.
