1. @rexcars27 last 16 years no 1 died yes! and you cant compare the early f1 time with the irl nowadays! you americans have to stay up with us to keep it safe, just respect europeans for bein smart! like the crisis..... usa caused it and europeans are the first one who got out of it. :)
2. @couragio235 Dana was actually in the car that went airborne
3. at first i thought how is that a fatal? then i saw the car hit him..... R.I.P Paul Dana
4. Poor guy. He never even saw it coming!!!
5. well thats life he chosen, every lap is possible death
6. Wow, I'm surprised they both didn't get killed. That impact made my spine compress just watching it.
7. where is the reset button. i wanna again
8. Rest In Peace Paul
9. R.I.P
10. @HotSIzZle12 He probably got the call, but notice he hit a piece of debris which ruined the front-end suspension and made braking all but impossible.
11. r.i.p
12. @565Customz lol me too
13. which car was the guy that died? first or 2nd?
14. And yeah, posting hate comments here? Disgusting. Seriously.
15. Unfortunately, this is the danger of racing on ovals. At superspeedways, wherever you crash, there will always be cars approaching at high speed. At race-tracks, or road courses, whatever you wanna call them, the venue covers a larger area, there are large grassy areas, gravel traps, and tarmac runoffs, and cars aren't running at top speed nearly 100% of the time. When oval racing is close, though, it is thrilling, but of course, thats at it's most dangerous.
16. Shows how misleading first impressions can be - I thought the guy who died was the fellow whose car got plowed into, but it ended up being the guy who hit him. Sad.
17. @machvelocy If there's a car sitting in the middle of the track no matter what or where your racing you shouldn't floor it. they have spotters for a reason and idk why Dana didn't slow down.
18. @gamblerpete he hit the car that hit the wall
19. Was he in the car which hit the wall first?
20. man i was like.."that wasnt that bad" ...then .." HOLY SHIT"
21. this is why formula 1 dont races in oval.. if a car stop in a middle of track like that, it'll slammed by other cars at 200mph it should be a wake up call for IRL to stop racing in ovals... Yeah, cuz NO ONE has ever died in F1.....
22. the first timei saw the replay later that day, i knew it wouldnt be good
23. its kinda bad how they show it over and over again kinda disturbing
24. I remember reading that Paul Dana had something like eight seconds to slow the car down but he didn't see the yellow lights. I don't know if his spotter screamed yellow in his ear. He didn't have to die. Heck, he didn't have to crash. It's simply a shame. He was in over his head.
25. @barneynward - Dana was driving the car that hit the stationary one. Both were rushed to the hospital, in which Dana was later pronounced dead.
