Thanks for posting this. The "official" post kept freezing, so it was good to watch an alternative. Dan would have been a great booth addition in future years.

30:13 what? You need tires you idiot

Rip Bob and Dan 🏆

2011. My favourite Indy 500 of all time apart from many others.

But congrats to Dan Wheldon. I wish he didn’t die.

Danica should have won this race if she timed it perfectly.

JR Hildebrand should have won this race.

After all these years, I am still surprised that Charlie Kimball escapes scrutiny for staying on the track while running a speed that should have gotten him black flagged.

,k,m

Imagine if Baguette had won lol

gorgeous racing.

Bryan Herta "Dan Wheldon is the best driver here at the Indy 500 probably ever" Never. What people will say when they're excited. And I don't agree with Goodyear's statement that a more experienced guy would have just throttled back. Kimball's car was going so slow that he should have got out of the way and that's on his spotter's fault. Both their spotter's fault. If Sato can start winning at a late stage so can anybody. I root for Hildebrand every year just so he can get that one back.

Is it really the 100th anniversary, considering the Indy 500 wasn't run from 1942 to1945 because of World War II???

So people can understand it: We don't go racing on these small time airports like this anymore because they are too busy bringing tons and tons of planes in and out of the airport to allow something like that. Because smaller airports have become a lot more popular over the years.I live near one and they have planes taxing in and out every hour at very least, whereas when I was a kid they would maybe have a few planes per day.

nobody is gonna talk about the tornado watches

0:33 Missed the perfect opportunity to say ‘Motegi Mistaki’ but whatever

Guess Cunningham owes Wheldon money for that winning car.

1:40:32 ... Car #77. That's the car that Dan Wheldon would be driving in Las Vegas, less than 5 months later. RIP Danny. Indy 500 champion forever! :'(

2:14:23 The Crash that Changed Everything.

It was 2011 the final race of The Izod IndyCar series in Las Vegas, but then there was this freak crash happened at lap 11 to 13, dan’s family and friends were there but they didn’t know what to do, his best crew chief and pit crew’s best friend, his best wife and Oliver and Sebastian’s best father is gone And Sebastian and Oliver’s thought their dreams of racing with their father is over, but they didn’t give up they kept moving forward to their father‘s footsteps when they are old enough they will compete at the Indianapolis 500 just like their father

someone take all my money if you find the long version of the intro theme song

that is Dan Wheldon

28:56 what he looks familair

37:16 ask Kyle Kaiser to drive down Weldon car

37:17 did Richard Petty pass away

Danica Patrick would’ve won if she was the only one left in the race

8:22 “the pink National Guard car honouring the female service men and women” 😂😂😂

John Barnes the most professional person I’ve seen with a heart that would be broken into about 50 pieces... absolute class act well done

okay when I was 11 years old me and my sisters were in the middle crowd it was the final lap at the Indy 500 when someone crashed into the wall, while Dan Wheldon winning the race.. Well we made a runner for it, we went through security again. We were deciding on going somewhere else when we were about to exit. The crowd was so long we have to wait 3 and a half hours to get out undected AGAIN we hid our selves under a tent after an long 50 minutes after that race. We were getting hot in there unfortunally we lost our footing and kinda fell on the ground we were getting the heck out of there. Finally after 3 hours have passed my feet were killing me we sat down for 15 minutes. After that we were walking out the door I was a bit nervous and a few minutes later we were out the door and there was a small crowd we were in the front row I was so nervous when Dan Wheldon came out I just fainted

okay so at St Pete I was around 11 me and my sisters were in the front row of the crowd we made a runner for it. I told my twin sister to tell them it's time to make another plan. Yep you guessed it didn't work first we went past security, hid ourselves so nobody can see us. When we snuck up on Dan Wheldon we lost out footing yep we fell I told my sisters to plan b we all tripped and almost fell we back in the front crowd I was a bit nervous, and after a few minutes later when Dan Wheldon came out I really fainted

1:02:30 Okay let me tell you a story... We went to the Indy 500, so me and my sisters ( I was 11 at the time) hatch yet another plan, ( which hilariously failed) We snuck through security, went to the halls without alarm, well we were hiding in a tent so nobody knows who we are ( which they know anyway) when we snuck up on Dan Wheldon we kind of still looking around, yep we lost out footing and fell to the ground. We were running and almost tripped on something we were out of air, 10 minutes later ( it happened again ) we were exiting after that race, hid somewhere were planning a plan B it was getting hot in there so we got out, after a few seconds when Dan Wheldon came out of nowhere when we were about to leave I fainted

Okay so let me tell you guys something... A few years ago I was about 11 years old (im 20 btw) My sisters and I went to the Indy 500, I remember that day after the race we were in the front row in the crowd ( not going according to plan lol) A few minutes later at 6:00pm I was a bit nervous I asked my sisters where to go next.. Yet another 10 minutes later.. still nervous I was shaking like crazy... 2 minutes later we were stuck in the front row of the crowd, still nervous to get out of there..( which I ended up at the hospital) we were still stuck.. I was still nervous a few minutes later already nervous to get out of there as we were about to exit Dan Wheldon came out of nowhere I fainted..

1:02:30 okay so let me tell you guys a story.... It was a few years ago I was about 10 years old ( now I'm 20 btw). My sisters and I went to the Indy 500, I remember that day we were in the front row after the race, I was nervous ( which did not go according to plan lol) we were in the crowd. A few minutes later at 6:00pm I was a bit nervous. Yet another few minutes later, still nervous just a bit, when Dan Wheldon came out of nowhere, I fainted..

dude I was there a couple years ago, there's the story... I was at the Indy 500 in the crowd me and my sisters were there.. Well that didn't go according to plan we were in the front row I was a bit nervous a few minutes later when Dan Wheldon came out of nowhere I fainted

I was there a few years ago at the last moment wheldon coming out I fainted

1:02:30

1:02:30 wow

This track should be back on Indycar

Dario and Dixon are great drivers but God they were whiny with the 2nd race if your the best prove it come from the back and win

This was such a great season until what happened at Las Vegas glad I got to witness Dan's Indy 500 win in person he had a future to be a driver analyst in the booth if he would have been able to retire RIP Dan can't believe this season was already 8 years ago

When you're waiting for ages to finally win your first oval and then you need to be spoonfed the win in this joke of a race.

I like these cars.

49:54 Which song sounds before the commercial break?

it's like what happen is that the slow car at the end, is what messed up with JR at the last turn if that slow car wasn't there at the end

it's like what happen is that the slow car at the end, is what messed up with JR at the last turn if that slow car wasn't there at the end

Best sound ever

RIP Dan Wheldon. Met him in Virginia at the Richmond race in 2004 and he was the most sincere and caring driver. Miss seeing him race today. Probably would have won another 500
