I was watching the race when the wreck happened. A couple of the cars flipped and Wheldon's car whet up against the catch fence, driver toward the fence. It ripped the car apart. Very sad. Even the wife (who doesn't like racing) happen to be passing by the TV and then sat there glued to the set for the next hour.
