WTF was IRL thinking? Running 34 cars on a 1.5 mile oval? Are they fucking stupid?

RIP Wheldon... :wtc:

Tragic :/ RIP.

It seems he only took part in 2 races this year, one of which was the Indy 500 that he won. He was taking on the challenge of trying to win the race from last. Had he won then his team would have split 5 million dollars with a lucky fan.

Just by chances I was flipping through the channels and stopped on the Indy race since nothing was on...I think I started watching on Lap 6 or 7, then a few minutes later all hell broke loose :(
Pretty sad :(
