No, been to eldora when someone died in hot laps. Show went on. It's tragic, but the show must go on

The show doesn't have to go on, the show is not a life or death situation. It's a fuking race. It's not war. It's a choice to have the show go on. Personally, I'd have polled the drivers and been up front with what had happened.

I started watching same time mud duck did, right after this wreck. RIP Shane.

cnbf, I tend to agree with you, it's a choice.

I remember when Dan Weldon was fatally injured in an Indy Car race at Las Vegas and that race was not completed following Dan's crash. I asked a retired driver who holds several national dirt track win records and has raced Indy Cars at Indianapolis what his feelings were about that particular incident. This driver has paid a very steep price physically as a result of driving racecars so he is qualified to speak on the subject if anyone is. He said that race at Vegas should have been run to it's completion. He said he was absolutely sure that Mr. Weldon would have wanted that race to be completed. I said to the driver at the time that I was comfortable with the way Indy Car handled it. I also was well aware that this driver had strapped his ass into a racecar hundreds, maybe even thousands of times, many times at Eldora, and he knew far more about the subject than I ever could hope to.

Not passing judgement one way or the other, just giving the perspective of someone who is much more of an authority than I.

Am I getting this right? Stop the show if someone dies? They don't announce it and run the show. This is how it's always been done. Indy 500, Daytona 500 didn't stop when Dale E died. It has more to do with notifying next of kin more than Economics of canceling a race.

The Dale accident was on the last lap the show was already over.

Well done Bobby not a big fan of his driving but that was an awesome gesture

[MEE]

It would be nice if a track could have a race in his honor and all proceeds go to the family.
SOS did that for the Floyd family and I went and gave all I could.
I for one will gladly attend if they do.

RIP Shane.

They should of played the national anthem, line the cars 4 wide and have the drivers stand beside their cars after national anthem play. Come over the pa tell everyoneand have moment of silence of his death.

But this is Tony Stewart what do you expect.

[old fan]

You guys are morons. It's been stated several times that they didn't say anything to ensure the family was properly notified. Which is pretty much universal when it comes to accidents. Police don't real ease names of victims until families have been notified either.
