The cruelest part of death in IndyCar is that it always seems to strike the guys who have the big breaks ahead of them. Scott Brayton just before his best shot at the Indy 500. Jeff Krosnoff just as he was making waves. Gonzalo Rodriguez as he broke in with Penske. Greg Moore just weeks later after he too had signed with Penske for the following season. Tony Renna just getting started with Ganassi. Same with Paul Dana and RLL. Dan Wheldon had just won Indy a second time and was going to replace Danica Patrick at Andretti.
The story is much the same with Justin Wilson.
