That's sad. Condolences to the family.

What are the odds of losing two drivers who are with the same sponsor in two different series?? Wierd.

That sucks. Deepest condolences to the family.

What's really weird about Paul Dana's accident was that he didn't even seem to see the yellow. He just continued on at full speed when everyone else was slowing down.

Oil company conspiracy?

Sprint cars normally run methanol, the ethanol is very similar but not poisonous. Yes the flame is hard to see, but is easily put out with water (unlike gasolene).

Team sponsor, not the fuel being burned.
Ethanal also sponsors an IRL car, which recently switched over to Ethanol.
