Pray for Paul Dana

[Badger]

Just saw it on sprortscenter and it looks really bad. Very similar to Zanardi's, except Dana hit the engine side of Carpenters car. Carpenter will be fine.

[Racing Truth]

Ditto. Does not look good to me. :(

I thought of Zanardi too.

[Racing Truth]

Scary. They're being totally hush on Dana. This cannot be good.

UPDATE: Dana in CRITICAL. :( :( :(

[Night Train]

Yeah, not good.....

[racer2c]

I pray for the best for him.

Update II: Dolan caught something from Punchy: "He WAS a young man..." Hopefully, a slip of the tongue, but maybe not. :( Also wanted to wait to notify public until hia wife in Indy was contacted.

For those that didn't see it, Dana plowed into Carpenter head-on at basically full speed. Front of Paul's car gone. Horrific.

[Napoleon]

I hope for the best for him.

I thought the race was not on until 330pm?

[Racing Truth]

:(

I hope he's ok.

[Tifosi24]

Words can't describe the carnage of that accident, I sure hope he is ok, but from seeing his car head down the straight afterwards it doesn't look too good. I just hope he is ok.

From a TF poster:


word from the track is that dana passed away and that rahal is pulling both patrick's and rice's car from the race sad day

Hope they're wrong. :cry:
