Dan was a two time Indy 500 Champion and a great ambassador for motorsports, but it was his dedication to family and friends that he'll truly be remembered for.

Our thoughts and prayers for his wife Susie, his two young sons Sebastian and Oliver, and all of his family and friends.

He will be missed.

It was a great place to wrap up the 2011 National Tour and now it's finally time for a little break!  We're headed home to Las Vegas to start planning the 2012 tour!!!
