RIP Justin.


BREAKING: IndyCar Driver Justin Wilson Dead At 37

The Associated Press reports that IndyCar driver Justin Wilson succumbed to a head injury sustained in a wreck Sunday at Pocono Raceway. Wilson was 37.

IndyCar made an announcement this evening at about 9:10 p.m. EDT at the request of Justin Wilson’s family. Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Company, the parent company of IndyCar, said he will remember Wilson as “one of the most well respected, highly regarded, and loved people in the entire paddock.”

Driver and team owner Ed Carpenter also paid his respects during the announcement, describing Wilson as “a great professional driver and extremely good at his craft” and “a friend among everyone in the paddock.”

Wilson died at Lehigh Valley Health Network Cedar Crest Hospital in the company of his family. Following IndyCar’s announcement, the family released this statement:

    With deep sadness, the parents of Justin Wilson, Keith and Lynne, his wife Julia, and his brother Stefan share the news that Justin passed away today after succumbing to injuries suffered during the Verizon IndyCar event at Pocono Raceway on Sunday, August 23.

    Justin was a loving father and devoted husband, as well as a highly competitive racing driver who was respected by his peers.

    The family would like to thank the staff at the Lehigh Valley Health Network Cedar Crest Hospital, Pocono Raceway, Andretti Autosport, and the Verizon IndyCar Series as well as the entire racing community for the amazing outpouring of support from fans around the world.

    The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Wilson Children’s Fund care of INDYCAR.

    C/O INDYCAR

    4551 West 16th Street

    Indianapolis, IN 46222

Wilson was a native of Sheffield, England, who had moved to Colorado with his wife and two young daughters. He was a prominent open-wheel racer for many years, competing for Minardi and Jaguar in Formula One. He moved into American open wheel series in 2004 with ChampCar and later IndyCar in 2008. Wilson had competed in six IndyCar races with Andretti Autosport this year.

This upcoming weekend (May 21, 22) is qualifying for the Indy 500.

Although ABC is only broadcasting the last hour on each day, ESPN3 which is online only will cover qualifying all day long on Saturday and Sunday.

If you don't have access to ESPN3 you might be able to listen to it via Indycar radio with live timing and scoring found here.  http://racecontrol.indycar.com/

The Indycar App may work as well but I have not tried it yet.

Here also is a link to an article about rules changes for this year plus other info including the entry list.

Uh, note to Simon Pagenaud:

That chickshit weaving and draft dodging will not be tolerated during Tuneless Tuesday events. If you're gonna act that way, don't bother showing up next time.
