Indy Car racer Dan Wheldon died tragically in a 15 car pile up at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the last race of the season this weekend. He is survived by his wife and two kids. He was 33 years old. Dan Wheldon's death raises many questions on if Indy car races are safe for those type of courses. The Indy Cars are much faster than the NASCAR ones and at Las Vegas this weekend they hit top speeds of 225 mph. You can't really control a car at that speed, and you can't at all if it goes airborne. These cars are only really safe for road courses,circuit races in cars of that speed are just unsafe.
