It could not have been more horribly wrong.
A fire of 15 car accident on lap 13 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway tragically killed at the Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon.
IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard had hoped to preside over an event marking the start of the IndyCar return to the national stage. Instead, they stopped delivering the words to pray for each racing official, never uttered.
"IndyCar is said to announce that Dan Wheldon led off unsurvivable wounds," he said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today. IndyCar, its drivers and the owners have decided to abandon the race."
