Indycar officials decided to end the race...but are doing a 3 by 3 formation for 5 laps as a tribute to Dan.

NASCAR hasn't had a death (at least not this high profile) since Dale Earnhardt, thanks in no small part to improvements like the Car of Tomorrow and SAFER barriers.

Next season, IndyCar is supposed to debut their version of the Car of Tomorrow.
