If, like me, you were unable to watch the race on TV, here are the official highlights courtesy of Indycar.com
When I raced karts in the UK, at a younger age, the top three Cadet drivers were (in no particular order) Jenson Button, Anthony Davidson and Daniel Wheldon. Well, Davidson now races sports cars, and we all know what Button does, while Wheldon, now Dan, went to America to race Indycars.
Amazingly Wheldon, a former Indycar Series Champion and Indy 500 winner is without a full time ride for the 2011 season. Which makes the dramatic end to this years Indy 500, and Wheldons an even bigger achievement!
Congratulations to the winner of the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500... DAN WHELDON!!
Was this not the 95th running of the indy 500. 100 year anniversary but there has been a few gaps probably during the wars.
