Dan Wheldon was killed in a 15-car pileup at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday in the Izod IndyCar Series season finale.
Wheldon was 33.
The crash started in front of Wheldon, and his car launched off of a car in front of him, flipped into the catchfence and erupted in flames on Lap 12.
At one point during the crash, three cars were airborne and upside down.
Wheldon was going for a $5-million bonus for he and a fan in Sunday's race. After starting last, he had worked his way up to 24th place in the 34-car field. (The video starts on board Wheldon's car)
After announcing Wheldon's passing at 6 p.m. ET, IndyCar announced that the race would be halted and the drivers would participate in a five-lap parade in tribute to Wheldon.
