UNTIL LAP 11 - Remembering Dan Wheldon's Final Race
ALTERNATE CUT WITHOUT CHAT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfmZGU07Odk
In memory of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon, who lost his life ten years ago today.
On Sunday, October 16, 2011, I logged onto a motorsports chat room as I tuned into watch the IZOD IndyCar World Championships in Las Vegas. The resulting chat transcript provided a first-hand account of the emotions of that awful day, and I saved a copy of it when the race was called. Now, a decade later, I'm sharing that transcript for the first time, plus my own personal memories from that day, synced up to the original ABC broadcast.
In the interest of time, these are only excerpts from the chat, but represents most of its length. And in the interest of an accurate historical record, these excerpts are otherwise unedited, and have been synced up to the approximate moments in the broadcast, where possible.
