Not a good day for racing


Driver involved in race warm-up crash with Carpenter

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – IndyCar Series driver Paul Dana was pronounced dead at Jackson Memorial Hospital – a Level 1 trauma center – in Miami just before noon (EST) from injuries suffered in a race warm-up crash at Homestead-Miami Speedway.


This is the worst news any race fan can hear! We all know it is one of the most dangerous sports in the world, but you are never prepared for something like this. Paul had worked himself into a top flight ride through much hard work and preseverance. Why the Good Lord decided that now was his time we won't know until the end comes. I just wish he'd have waited a bit longer. My prayers go out to Paul's family and Rahal/Letterman Racing! I cannot even imagine the loss they are most certainly feeling right now!
