British IndyCar star escapes injury after his car flips
Here’s our very own Dan Wheldon, being helped away from his wrecked car, after a scary-looking crash during a practice session for last weekend’s IndyCar event at the Texas Motor Speedway. The Englishman’s car veered off line, hit the outside wall, and then flipped over on the infield grass. He escaped serious injury, and went on to finish fourth in the race, which was won by Dan’s team-mate, Scott Dixon. It was Wheldon’s fourth top-five finish in the past five races.

Hmm, you might want to check the position of Wheldon’s crash helmet in relation to the big ‘T’ in Texas… and then apologise.
