night.
and we do begin here with that
breaking news out of las vegas.
tragedy at the racetrack.
many of you were watching right
here on abc, driver dan
wheldon, at first we thought he
was seriously injured in that
massive 15-car wreck at the las
vegas indy 300.
a short time later, it was
announced he had died.
caring went flying through the
air, including wheldon, leaving
debris everywhere.
and cars strewn across the
track.
wheldon was air lifted by
helicopter to a hospital.
the other drivers clearly
shaken.
they honored him this evening
just before we came on the air.
and we are joined this evening
by espn's scott goodyear, a
former indycar driver himself.
scott, to watch the other
drivers put their heads down,
honoring him with the laps
around the track was really
something.
>> it really was, david.
and i will tell you, as a past
driver, there are many times
that are difficult in your
career.
i always say that
motor racing has the highest
highs and the lowest lows.
i can assure you...
