It was the wall/fence that killed Dan Wheldon. It's ridiculous to think that they still drive at such high speeds on oval tracks, with solid concrete walls. What's more amazing is that this hasn't happened on such a scale before.
Apparently he'd just signed a deal to replace Danica Patrick at Andretti next season.
Personally I don't think the whole $5 million deal had anything to do with the accident. If it hadn't been Wheldon it WOULD have been someone else. It's not like he caused the accident by chasing first. He was still down in 24th at the time.
