00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,452
I always thought,
out of the drivers, that
178
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:38,953
I was one of the strongest.
179
00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:40,997
And that is
what I'm out to prove.
180
00:09:41,664 --> 00:09:43,625
Formula 1 is expensive.
181
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:44,751
I couldn't afford it.
182
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:48,296
So Dan wanted to get
to IndyCar.
183
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:49,714
It was the hardest day
of my life
184
00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:51,466
seeing him going out of Emberton
185
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,718
with his helmets and his bags
186
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:55,136
to race in America.
187
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:57,055
Look, I've done my job.
188
00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:00,058
My job was to get him there.
189
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:01,267
[music fades]
190
00:10:15,198 --> 00:10:18,410
[Susie] Listen, I know
it's a long day,
191
00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:21,705
but we have to get ready
for tomorrow.
192
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:25,000
I'm gonna go check on
Sebastian.
193
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:29,254
[gentle music playing]
194
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:41,182
[munching softly]
195
00:10:51,067 --> 00:10:53,987
Get your suit and stuff
and put it in the laundry room.
196
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,948
All right. And your bag.
Empty your bag.
197
00:10:57,699 --> 00:11:00,285
You guys have a big day
in front of you tomorrow.
198
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:11,338
[music darkens]
199
00:11:12,881 --> 00:11:14,716
[man] Racing is the type
of sport that,
200
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:16,301
if you get into it,
201
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:18,345
it gets in your blood.
202
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:20,388
It's what you wanna do.
203
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:21,639
[announcer 1] Andretti.
204
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:23,850
An Italian name,
but an American legend.
205
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:25,477
[Michael] It started
with my father.
206
00:11:25,477 --> 00:11:26,811
[announcer 2] Mario Andretti.
207
00:11:26,811 --> 00:11:28,521
[announcer 3] The greatest
race car driver
208
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,190
in the history of the sport.
209
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:31,149
And then I came along,
210
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:33,526
made it to the big time
at IndyCar.
211
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:34,819
[announcer 4]
He is driving finer
212
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:37,030
than any other driver
in the series.
213
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,157
Michael Andretti,
with an incredible
214
00:11:39,157 --> 00:11:42,077
record-breaking year,
wins the title.
215
00:11:42,077 --> 00:11:44,704
Big party tonight.
Big party tonight.
216
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:48,500
In 2002, I became a team owner.
217
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:51,169
We were looking for a good
young rookie
218
00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:53,213
that we felt like
we could bring up.
219
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:55,840
[peaceful music playing]
220
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,259
[birds twittering]
221
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:02,931
[man] I'll just clean up
a little bit on the side.
222
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:06,434
[Clive] You want your son
to be the champion.
223
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:12,941
And to get the attention
of Michael Andretti
224
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,442
would be a big deal.
225
00:12:14,442 --> 00:12:15,860
[clippers buzzing]
226
00:12:16,695 --> 00:12:18,154
[reporter] Breaking news
this weekend.
227
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:20,365
This young man, Dan Wheldon.
You're gonna get to drive.
228
00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:22,117
How excited are you
with this opportunity?
229
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:23,993
I'm dying to get
in the car right now.
230
00:12:23,993 --> 00:12:27,038
I just can't wait to go racing.
It's gonna be fantastic.
231
00:12:30,625 --> 00:12:32,961
Dan drove the hell
out of that car.
232
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,089
He had instinct,
he had quick hands.
233
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:38,550
[engines revving]
234
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:40,677
And we thought
he'd be perfect
235
00:12:40,677 --> 00:12:43,054
for a rookie that
we wanna bring in.
236
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:45,849
And so we sign a contract.
237
00:12:46,224 --> 00:12:47,976
[man] Well, good morning,
everybody.
238
00:12:47,976 --> 00:12:51,438
We are at the Dan Wheldon
monument here in St. Petersburg.
239
00:12:52,022 --> 00:12:54,607
As you all know,
Andretti Autosports
240
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:56,860
is very involved in
the development world,
241
00:12:56,860 --> 00:12:59,988
and today they're gonna expand
that development series.
242
00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:02,574
Michael, who are
your new drivers in this team?
243
00:13:02,574 --> 00:13:04,534
Well, we got a couple
young hot shoes
244
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:07,037
that we've been watching since
they've been this tall,
245
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:08,747
and now they're about
this tall.
246
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:11,958
You might know their last name
and their father.
247
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:15,086
I'm gonna bring up Sebastian
and Oliver Wheldon.
248
00:13:15,086 --> 00:13:17,922
[crowd applauding and cheering]
249
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:21,760
These kids are the real deal,
I can tell you.
250
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,845
I mean, uh, I've been
watching a lot
251
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:25,388
of what they've been
doing in go-karts.
252
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:27,807
Everywhere they go
they're running up front.
253
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:30,101
We're here to get them through
the road to Indy,
254
00:13:30,101 --> 00:13:32,354
and hopefully
to IndyCars one day,
255
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:33,355
so that's the plan.
256
00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:35,148
[shutters clicking]
257
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,859
[man] What's your favorite race
you've won?
258
00:13:37,859 --> 00:13:41,196
Last weekend,
I won by ten seconds.
259
00:13:41,905 --> 00:13:43,198
[man] And, Oliver,
how about you?
260
00:13:43,198 --> 00:13:46,117
Probably the next race
I'm gonna win.
261
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,244
[laughter]
262
00:13:48,244 --> 00:13:50,246
I like to be at the front.
I'm not the kinda guy
263
00:13:50,246 --> 00:13:52,207
that likes to sit around
in fifth or sixth, so...
264
00:13:52,207 --> 00:13:53,917
Thanks for your time.
Good luck today.
265
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:55,835
[reporter 1] How exciting
was today for you guys?
266
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:58,630
It's very exciting especially
because my dad
267
00:13:58,630 --> 00:14:01,216
was on Andretti
and it was his first team.
268
00:14:01,216 --> 00:14:05,095
And it's my first team
that I was pretty much ever on.
269
00:14:07,889 --> 00:14:09,599
[reporter 2] This is what
you wanna do?
270
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:10,850
[boys] Yes.
271
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,644
[reporter 2] Was it hard for you
272
00:14:12,644 --> 00:14:14,062
because of everything
273
00:14:14,062 --> 00:14:15,730
for them to go into racing?
274
00:14:15,730 --> 00:14:17,148
- Um...
- As opposed to baseball?
275
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:19,734
Yeah, you know, it's not
really something that I...
276
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:21,986
- [reporter 3] Swimming?
- Yeah. [chuckles]
277
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:24,531
You know, obviously,
that kind of...
278
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:26,741
thought is there, for sure,
279
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:29,160
um, but it's not something
that is... is...
280
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,496
that I dwell on
or I think about a lot.
281
00:14:31,496 --> 00:14:33,164
[reporters speaking faintly]
282
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:36,876
[inaudible]
283
00:14:38,503 --> 00:14:41,881
[peaceful music playing]
284
00:14:52,517 --> 00:14:53,852
[sobbing softly]
285
00:14:53,852 --> 00:14:55,603
[sniffling]
286
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:57,439
[sighs, sniffles]
287
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:01,109
[exhales sharply]
288
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:07,824
You feel lost,
you feel abandoned,
289
00:15:07,824 --> 00:15:10,160
you feel scared, alone,
290
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,954
and then you have these
two little faces,
291
00:15:12,954 --> 00:15:15,331
you know, that are, like,
looking at you.
292
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,125
And...
293
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:19,586
Yeah.
294
00:15:21,046 --> 00:15:23,506
You just... you know
that you have to
295
00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:25,550
keep going and figure it out.
296
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,849
Racing has taken from me
297
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,518
the most important thing
in my entire life.
298
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:37,437
But it's also given me so much.
299
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,691
I'm sure a lot of people that
don't understand the sport,
300
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:43,193
it's like, "Wait a second.
301
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:46,279
Your husband passed away
in a motor racing accident,
302
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:50,075
and now you're letting
your kids drive.
303
00:15:50,784 --> 00:15:53,244
How do you reconcile that?"
304
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:55,413
But that's my job,
305
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:57,791
to help them pursue
whatever it is
306
00:15:57,791 --> 00:16:00,001
that makes them happy
or fulfills them.
307
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:02,921
I'm helping them to achieve
their dreams,
308
00:16:02,921 --> 00:16:04,673
just like Dan did.
309
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:08,468
Signing on with
Michael Andretti
310
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:09,594
is an amazing opportunity,
311
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:10,929
but I always tell them,
312
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:12,764
"You still have to
earn your stripes.
313
00:16:12,764 --> 00:16:13,932
You didn't earn that name
314
00:16:13,932 --> 00:16:15,433
on the back of your suit.
315
00:16:16,518 --> 00:16:18,812
You have to prove
that you're good enough
316
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:20,397
to be there."
317
00:16:22,857 --> 00:16:24,442
[zips duffel bag]
318
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:28,238
[Michael] From a team
standpoint,
319
00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:31,157
it's very important not
to only look at the talent,
320
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:33,451
but you also gotta look
at the personalities.
321
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:37,622
And so we were very careful
when we picked our guys.
322
00:16:39,082 --> 00:16:40,542
[cell phone ringing]
323
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:41,793
Fuck! Sorry.
324
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:44,087
See, I thought I turned it off.
325
00:16:44,087 --> 00:16:45,296
That's my wife.
326
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:47,173
- [mouthing]
- Michael Andretti calls me
327
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,800
and says, "I bought a team.
328
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:51,553
Dario's gonna be
one of my drivers
329
00:16:51,553 --> 00:16:52,971
and I want to hire you."
330
00:16:53,263 --> 00:16:54,514
And I'm like, "That's awesome."
331
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:56,891
I'm gonna be teammates
with my best friend.
332
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,144
How much better can it get?
333
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:02,188
I see Michael,
334
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:04,149
he says, "We hired
another driver."
335
00:17:04,149 --> 00:17:07,110
I said, "That's great.
So who did you guys hire?"
336
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:10,655
[Dan] I'm gonna introduce you
to big-nose Tony Kanaan.
337
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:15,035
[affects Brazilian accent]
Hi, I am Tony Kanaan
338
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:17,537
from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
339
00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:19,372
"Really, man?
340
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:21,041
Gonna have to put up
with that guy?"
341
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:22,208
[horn beeps]
342
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:24,461
The cockiest person
I've ever met.
343
00:17:24,461 --> 00:17:26,838
Pretty quickly,
Dan made his presence felt.
344
00:17:27,547 --> 00:17:29,674
This is gonna be
a little interesting, guys.
345
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:31,176
So, uh, you gotta bear with me.
346
00:17:31,176 --> 00:17:33,845
Bear with me, I'm gonna
make some introductions.
347
00:17:33,845 --> 00:17:35,930
He's talking to the boss
right now, so...
348
00:17:36,264 --> 00:17:38,016
- This is the famous...
- I'm beautiful.
349
00:17:38,016 --> 00:17:39,351
The famous piece.
350
00:17:39,351 --> 00:17:41,561
And look at that.
I dropped the microphone.
351
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,104
This is the boss,
352
00:17:43,104 --> 00:17:44,814
so obviously we've
got to be nice to him.
353
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:46,858
- Mr. Andretti.
- Better be nice.
354
00:17:47,484 --> 00:17:50,153
Michael said, "I need somebody
to come here right now
355
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:52,697
and work with Dan,
a bit of a mentor-type role."
356
00:17:52,697 --> 00:17:55,325
[Dan] This is the new teammate,
Mr. Bryan Herta.
357
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:59,496
Famous in California for his
skate shoes and baggy pants.
358
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:03,333
[Bryan] And he told me my belt
was too smart for my shoes.
359
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:05,293
[chuckles] And I thought,
360
00:18:05,293 --> 00:18:07,879
"That's an odd thing to say
to somebody you just met."
361
00:18:07,879 --> 00:18:09,756
He was a kid that wanted
to learn.
362
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,091
Dan asked many questions.
363
00:18:11,091 --> 00:18:13,385
"How does this work?
What does that do?"
364
00:18:13,385 --> 00:18:15,720
"Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?"
365
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,222
And answered few.
366
00:18:17,222 --> 00:18:19,224
[chuckles] Yeah, typical Dan.
367
00:18:19,224 --> 00:18:21,434
I felt bad for Susie. [laughs]
368
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:24,270
[Michael] Susie worked for
Dan's sponsor, Jim Beam,
369
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:26,731
and she ended up
taking care of Dan.
370
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,066
[chuckles]
371
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:30,235
[Dario] There was Dan
doing what Dan did
372
00:18:30,235 --> 00:18:31,528
and there was Susie
making sure
373
00:18:31,528 --> 00:18:33,488
he didn't do anything
he shouldn't do,
374
00:18:33,488 --> 00:18:34,739
or trying to.
375
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:36,574
Let's interview Susie.
376
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:38,243
Put the mic on Susie.
377
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,245
- Ask me anything.
- Speak to the camera.
378
00:18:40,245 --> 00:18:42,414
What's Dan Wheldon like
to work with?
379
00:18:43,915 --> 00:18:45,208
We could have
a one-on-one later,
380
00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:46,251
and I'll really tell you.
381
00:18:46,835 --> 00:18:49,754
I didn't know what I was doing.
If I'm honest.
382
00:18:49,754 --> 00:18:51,423
[gentle music playing]
383
00:18:51,423 --> 00:18:53,883
I ended up getting this job
in marketing.
384
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:56,845
They gave me this...
Jim Beam account.
385
00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:59,347
And I was coming into the
sport really not knowing
386
00:18:59,347 --> 00:19:01,224
much about the IndyCar
side of things,
387
00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:03,810
but, you know,
Dan was a rookie, too.
388
00:19:04,227 --> 00:19:06,187
We were both navigating
through those waters
389
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:08,023
a little bit
at the same time.
390
00:19:08,023 --> 00:19:09,607
I've gotta buy my own
dinner tonight,
391
00:19:09,607 --> 00:19:11,568
which is a bit
disappointing, but...
392
00:19:11,568 --> 00:19:15,113
I'm working on Susie Behm
to take us out.
393
00:19:15,113 --> 00:19:16,531
[Susie] Because I worked
with him,
394
00:19:16,531 --> 00:19:19,117
you just pick up on the way
that somebody is
395
00:19:19,117 --> 00:19:20,285
and what they expect.
396
00:19:20,285 --> 00:19:22,996
Everything had to be
in its place.
397
00:19:22,996 --> 00:19:24,622
Dan was borderline OCD.
398
00:19:24,622 --> 00:19:27,000
I have the hangers
all going the same way.
399
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:30,170
The pants are all kinda
hanging without creases.
400
00:19:30,545 --> 00:19:33,340
I even have the shoes
in their original boxes.
401
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:35,342
He had a certain method
for everything.
402
00:19:37,761 --> 00:19:40,263
He'd always have a pair
of new boots for race day,
403
00:19:40,263 --> 00:19:41,931
and I would always have to
de-lace them
404
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:44,184
and make sure that they were
exactly the same length
405
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:46,186
of shoelace at the very top,
406
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:47,896
and then re-lace them.
407
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:50,482
[Dario] With a race,
there's so many things
408
00:19:50,482 --> 00:19:51,733
that aren't in your control,
409
00:19:51,733 --> 00:19:53,568
you try and control
as much as you can.
410
00:19:53,568 --> 00:19:55,195
[engines revving]
411
00:19:56,488 --> 00:19:59,074
[Tony] We have to do a track map
to tell how the car behaves.
412
00:19:59,074 --> 00:20:01,201
Me and Dario, we put
a couple notes here.
413
00:20:01,201 --> 00:20:04,245
A couple arrows, some little
chicken scratch things.
414
00:20:04,621 --> 00:20:06,664
[Susie] I was trying to
find the notes.
415
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:09,668
Like... Like more
engineering notes.
416
00:20:11,336 --> 00:20:13,338
[Bryan] His track maps
were just...
417
00:20:15,006 --> 00:20:16,216
filled with words.
418
00:20:16,675 --> 00:20:19,344
Gosh. Like, this is
the kind of stuff he'd write.
419
00:20:20,011 --> 00:20:21,429
[dramatic music playing]
420
00:20:21,429 --> 00:20:23,264
You're making me look bad.
421
00:20:23,264 --> 00:20:25,600
[Susie] "The throttle,
not the throttle pedal itself.
422
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,602
Does not have
a progressive feel to it.
423
00:20:27,602 --> 00:20:29,187
It's more like
an on/off switch.
424
00:20:29,187 --> 00:20:31,439
If I have my foot
on the throttle 15%,
425
00:20:31,439 --> 00:20:33,525
there's not a 15% response
from the engine,
426
00:20:33,525 --> 00:20:35,110
there's only 5%.
427
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:36,528
If I have 65 throttle input,
428
00:20:36,528 --> 00:20:38,947
there is a 95 response
from the engine."
429
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:40,657
Dan had a great rookie year.
430
00:20:40,657 --> 00:20:42,867
[announcer 1] Dan Wheldon,
top 10.
431
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:44,577
[Michael] And in 2004...
432
00:20:44,577 --> 00:20:45,954
[announcer 2]
Dan Wheldon
433
00:20:45,954 --> 00:20:47,539
has notched
his first victory.
434
00:20:47,539 --> 00:20:49,457
[Michael] ...he won in Motegi.
435
00:20:49,874 --> 00:20:51,042
He was like, "Oh."
436
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:52,377
He's got potential.
437
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:56,131
A lot of potential.
438
00:20:56,131 --> 00:20:58,883
But he did have
a massively selfish side.
439
00:20:58,883 --> 00:21:01,261
[helicopter whirring]
440
00:21:04,681 --> 00:21:06,725
[announcer] Ten laps
to go in Phoenix.
441
00:21:06,725 --> 00:21:08,977
Dario Franchitti in
second place.
442
00:21:08,977 --> 00:21:10,270
[Dario] At Phoenix,
443
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:12,480
I was racing with Sam Hornish
for the win,
444
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,149
and Dan was a lap down.
445
00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:16,276
And he got between Sam and I.
446
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:18,570
[announcer] Dan Wheldon
is a lap behind.
447
00:21:18,570 --> 00:21:20,280
I don't understand
what he's doing.
448
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,657
I mean, he needs to let
Dario go by.
449
00:21:23,575 --> 00:21:26,077
He stayed there and held me up.
450
00:21:26,077 --> 00:21:27,746
And Dario did not like that.
451
00:21:27,746 --> 00:21:29,330
One of my teammates
get in the way.
452
00:21:29,330 --> 00:21:31,583
We had to do a lot of work
in that last race there.
453
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:33,752
[announcer] Dario Franchitti
finishes fourth.
454
00:21:33,752 --> 00:21:35,587
[Dario] I was upset
after the race.
455
00:21:36,046 --> 00:21:38,965
And rather than go to see
the bosses or any of that stuff,
456
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:41,217
Tony, Bryan, myself and Dan
457
00:21:41,217 --> 00:21:43,011
went and sat down
in a hotel room
458
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:44,429
and had a little discussion.
459
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:45,847
I remember forcefully
telling him,
460
00:21:45,847 --> 00:21:48,391
"This is how we're gonna go
racing on this team
461
00:21:48,391 --> 00:21:49,934
and here's why,
462
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:52,270
and you are not providing
463
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:53,855
the same level
of respect to us
464
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:55,023
that we are to you."
465
00:21:55,023 --> 00:21:56,483
That actually caught him
by surprise.
466
00:21:56,483 --> 00:21:59,235
You know when you go,
"Wow, I did not expect that."
467
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:00,570
I saw him...
468
00:22:01,196 --> 00:22:02,781
sort of...
469
00:22:02,781 --> 00:22:03,990
lost for words.
470
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:05,784
[camera shutters clicking]
471
00:22:05,784 --> 00:22:08,119
[somber music playing]
472
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,954
[Tony] In St. Pete's,
it was like,
473
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:12,290
"Why don't you get on
with the program here
474
00:22:12,624 --> 00:22:15,001
and we'll be stronger
together?"
475
00:22:16,086 --> 00:22:17,587
[reporter] Dan?
476
00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:20,298
[Dan] I'm really excited.
477
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,051
And I'm going to try
not to hold up my teammates
478
00:22:23,051 --> 00:22:24,844
this weekend, uh, but, uh...
479
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:26,680
No, I'm really
looking forward to it,
480
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,890
and I'm sure you guys
will have a good time.
481
00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:32,894
[engines revving]
482
00:22:32,894 --> 00:22:34,479
[announcer 1]
The green flag is out
483
00:22:34,479 --> 00:22:36,106
and we are off and racing.
484
00:22:36,106 --> 00:22:37,565
Bryan Herta just
came through
485
00:22:37,565 --> 00:22:39,734
the front straight flying.
486
00:22:39,734 --> 00:22:42,028
This is his tenth
IndyCar Series race
487
00:22:42,028 --> 00:22:43,988
that he has led in his career.
488
00:22:44,906 --> 00:22:47,200
We go onboard with
Dario Franchitti.
489
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,035
Here he goes, looking inside.
490
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:50,328
And he's got it.
491
00:22:50,328 --> 00:22:52,247
[announcer 2]
Dario is masterful.
492
00:22:52,664 --> 00:22:54,833
[announcer 1] Tony Kanaan
takes a peek...
493
00:22:54,833 --> 00:22:56,126
[tires squealing]
494
00:22:56,459 --> 00:22:58,837
Darren Manning
goes into the tire wall!
495
00:22:58,837 --> 00:23:01,673
[announcer 2] Another
fastest lap for Dan Wheldon.
496
00:23:01,673 --> 00:23:04,467
He's been faultless
these last five laps.
497
00:23:05,135 --> 00:23:06,344
[announcer 1]
The sun has shined
498
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:07,971
on Andretti Green Racing
here today.
499
00:23:07,971 --> 00:23:10,640
The fastest cars in the field,
Tony Kanaan, Dario Franchitti,
500
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,434
Bryan Herta, and Dan Wheldon.
501
00:23:13,018 --> 00:23:15,145
Dan Wheldon
picks up the victory,
502
00:23:15,145 --> 00:23:17,188
followed closely by
Tony Kanaan.
503
00:23:17,188 --> 00:23:20,358
Dario Franchitti and Bryan
Herta in third and fourth.
504
00:23:20,358 --> 00:23:22,318
We finished
one, two, three, four.
505
00:23:22,318 --> 00:23:24,070
I don't know if
it's ever been done.
506
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:25,697
[cheering]
507
00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:27,365
[announcer 1]
Maybe the first time
508
00:23:27,365 --> 00:23:29,200
four teammates finished
one through four
509
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,368
in a major event.
510
00:23:30,368 --> 00:23:31,578
[shouting happily]
511
00:23:31,578 --> 00:23:33,204
[announcer 1] Hell yeah!
512
00:23:33,705 --> 00:23:35,331
[Michael] This is a dream.
513
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:37,208
I'm so proud of this team.
514
00:23:37,208 --> 00:23:39,544
[cheering]
515
00:23:43,131 --> 00:23:45,884
[cheering]
516
00:23:45,884 --> 00:23:48,094
[Tony] I think we both
had to say,
517
00:23:48,094 --> 00:23:49,429
"I gotta work with you,
518
00:23:49,429 --> 00:23:52,599
so I might as well try
to get along with you."
519
00:23:57,729 --> 00:23:59,481
[Tony] And we started to hang,
and I'm like,
520
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:02,650
"He's still cocky,
but I kinda like him."
521
00:24:07,197 --> 00:24:09,407
[Bryan] It was this great
moment for the team,
522
00:24:09,407 --> 00:24:11,159
but I was mostly disappointed.

00:32:19,147 --> 00:32:20,440
in the speed of his car.
698
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,026
But I said,
"Well, how does the car feel?"
699
00:32:24,069 --> 00:32:25,904
Does it feel good when
you're behind other cars?
700
00:32:25,904 --> 00:32:27,030
"Yeah, it feels great."
701
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:28,156
I'm like, "Don't worry then.
702
00:32:28,156 --> 00:32:29,616
You're gonna be okay."
703
00:32:30,742 --> 00:32:31,951
[engines roaring]
704
00:32:31,951 --> 00:32:33,411
[announcer]
It's a spectacle
705
00:32:33,411 --> 00:32:35,497
500 miles in the making.
706
00:32:35,497 --> 00:32:39,751
The 89th Indy 500 is on.
707
00:32:39,751 --> 00:32:42,420
Maybe the hottest driver on
the IndyCar circuit right now.
708
00:32:42,420 --> 00:32:43,713
This is Dan Wheldon.
709
00:32:43,713 --> 00:32:45,090
This guy lives
the rock star life,
710
00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:46,549
but he is smooth.
711
00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:50,845
Dan's particular forte
was superspeedway racing.
712
00:32:51,262 --> 00:32:53,973
And that's not more true
on any oval than it is
713
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:55,684
at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
714
00:32:55,684 --> 00:32:57,977
On paper, it's four corners,
715
00:32:57,977 --> 00:33:01,898
but in reality, in a car
going 230 miles an hour,
716
00:33:02,232 --> 00:33:04,734
it's the greatest challenge
you'll ever face.
717
00:33:04,734 --> 00:33:07,278
[announcer] Sparks coming off
the back of those cars.
718
00:33:07,278 --> 00:33:10,115
And attention to detail
is necessary.
719
00:33:10,115 --> 00:33:12,200
And that was right in
Dan's wheelhouse.
720
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,119
[announcer] This guy has
never seen a slot
721
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:15,370
too small to pass in.
722
00:33:15,370 --> 00:33:18,123
Dan's style as a driver
was precision.
723
00:33:18,123 --> 00:33:22,419
Just that level of miniscule
inputs in the steering.
724
00:33:22,794 --> 00:33:24,754
That was where he made
the difference.
725
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:27,424
[announcer]
Wheldon started 16th.
726
00:33:27,424 --> 00:33:29,217
Up to fifth place.
727
00:33:29,217 --> 00:33:31,970
I think Dan became good
because of the questions.
728
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:34,139
Now he's taking
all of what he learned.
729
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:35,682
[man] Just be ready.
730
00:33:35,682 --> 00:33:36,933
[Michael]
If you watch his hands
731
00:33:36,933 --> 00:33:38,059
on the in-car camera,
732
00:33:38,059 --> 00:33:39,644
he was perfect
the whole way.
733
00:33:39,644 --> 00:33:42,355
- [man] Keep that speed up there.
- He was relentless.
734
00:33:42,355 --> 00:33:43,982
[announcer]
Danica Patrick leads
735
00:33:43,982 --> 00:33:46,109
the Indianapolis 500,
but for how long?
736
00:33:46,109 --> 00:33:47,902
Wheldon is coming
and coming fast.
737
00:33:47,902 --> 00:33:49,279
[Dan] I'm gonna go
for the lead.
738
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:51,448
- [man] Copy that.
- [announcer] There he goes.
739
00:33:52,323 --> 00:33:55,118
[man] Inside, inside. Clear.
740
00:33:55,952 --> 00:33:58,329
And I thought,
"Wow, we can win this."
741
00:33:58,747 --> 00:34:00,832
[announcer] The leader now
is Dan Wheldon.
742
00:34:00,832 --> 00:34:03,251
Not one person is sitting here
743
00:34:03,251 --> 00:34:05,337
at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
744
00:34:05,337 --> 00:34:07,672
This young man
from Emberton, England
745
00:34:07,672 --> 00:34:11,676
started 16th,
Scott, 16th.
746
00:34:11,676 --> 00:34:13,219
The checkered flag is out
747
00:34:13,219 --> 00:34:15,347
and the pubs are open
in the UK.
748
00:34:15,347 --> 00:34:20,101
Dan Wheldon has just won
the Indianapolis 500!
749
00:34:20,518 --> 00:34:21,936
[man over radio]
That's my boy!
750
00:34:21,936 --> 00:34:23,980
[cheering]
751
00:34:24,397 --> 00:34:27,108
[announcer]
And the celebration has begun.
752
00:34:27,108 --> 00:34:28,360
[Michael] It was like, wow.
753
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,861
I never won it as a driver,
754
00:34:29,861 --> 00:34:31,863
so to win it
as a team owner was--
755
00:34:31,863 --> 00:34:33,031
was a great moment.
756
00:34:33,531 --> 00:34:36,534
[announcer] And Michael riding
in the car to Victory Lane
757
00:34:36,534 --> 00:34:38,286
with Dan Wheldon.
758
00:34:38,745 --> 00:34:41,289
[Dan]
759
00:34:43,416 --> 00:34:45,543
Here's Clive
giving his son a hug.
760
00:34:48,838 --> 00:34:50,382
I cried my eyes out, yeah.
761
00:34:51,424 --> 00:34:52,592
[chuckles]
762
00:34:53,051 --> 00:34:54,719
You got a little emotional
in the car.
763
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,304
The tears are still flowing.
764
00:34:56,304 --> 00:34:59,641
Yeah. This has been a dream
come true for me. I...
765
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:01,976
I've loved the Indianapolis 500
766
00:35:01,976 --> 00:35:03,269
ever since I've been
a young kid.
767
00:35:03,269 --> 00:35:04,896
[interviewer]
There you go, my friend.
768
00:35:04,896 --> 00:35:06,064
[crowd cheers]
769
00:35:06,064 --> 00:35:07,899
[Susie]
Amidst all that commotion,
770
00:35:07,899 --> 00:35:11,069
I was right outside
that metal fencing.
771
00:35:11,695 --> 00:35:13,530
And he just looked over
and we locked eyes,
772
00:35:13,530 --> 00:35:17,409
and he just immediately came
over and gave me this huge hug.
773
00:35:17,409 --> 00:35:19,577
[crowd cheering]
774
00:35:21,037 --> 00:35:22,497
You could see
the genuine happiness
775
00:35:22,497 --> 00:35:24,541
of what it meant for him
to win that race.
776
00:35:24,541 --> 00:35:26,209
[man speaks over PA
indistinctly]
777
00:35:26,209 --> 00:35:28,169
[Susie] And he wanted to
share it with everybody.
778
00:35:28,169 --> 00:35:30,755
[upbeat rock music playing]
779
00:35:32,549 --> 00:35:34,050
[Dan] I've got a ton
of thank yous.
780
00:35:34,050 --> 00:35:36,886
The Jim Beam guys,
thanks for my hangover.
781
00:35:36,886 --> 00:35:38,430
- It's, uh...
- [audience laughs]
782
00:35:38,430 --> 00:35:39,806
It's absolutely killing me.
783
00:35:39,806 --> 00:35:41,016
I'm gonna blame you, Kanaan,
784
00:35:41,016 --> 00:35:42,934
because you're always
part of that.
785
00:35:43,476 --> 00:35:45,520
2005, he kind of won it all.
786
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,441
[announcer] The Indy 500 champ
is back home in Victory Lane.
787
00:35:49,858 --> 00:35:52,027
[Dan] After winning
the Indianapolis 500,
788
00:35:52,027 --> 00:35:53,319
you somewhat feel greedy.
789
00:35:53,695 --> 00:35:55,363
[announcer]
Dan Wheldon out in front.
790
00:35:55,363 --> 00:35:56,865
He's gonna bring
this thing home.
791
00:35:56,865 --> 00:35:59,200
And the way I approached that
because of that feeling
792
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,619
was to try and just go out
and win every race.
793
00:36:01,619 --> 00:36:03,788
[announcer]
It's Wheldon on the inside.
794
00:36:03,788 --> 00:36:05,623
Castroneves on the outside.
795
00:36:06,124 --> 00:36:08,668
Somebody wake the Queen
'cause Dan Wheldon
796
00:36:08,668 --> 00:36:10,879
just walked away
with the checkered flag!
797
00:36:11,296 --> 00:36:12,756
Your winner, Dan Wheldon.
798
00:36:12,756 --> 00:36:14,758
Making a mess of
the front straightaway
799
00:36:14,758 --> 00:36:16,551
here in Homestead, Miami.
800
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:19,721
Dan Wheldon,
once again in Japan.
801
00:36:19,721 --> 00:36:21,931
Thirteenth win for AGR.
802
00:36:21,931 --> 00:36:23,767
It was the Dream Team era.
803
00:36:23,767 --> 00:36:25,935
[announcer] Dario Franchitti!
804
00:36:28,563 --> 00:36:29,439
Bryan Herta!
805
00:36:29,731 --> 00:36:31,316
[Michael] Dan was
starting to feel like
806
00:36:31,316 --> 00:36:32,984
he was really a member
of our family.
807
00:36:32,984 --> 00:36:35,695
[announcer] Dan Wheldon
clinches the championship.
808
00:36:35,695 --> 00:36:37,405
He is saluting the fans.
809
00:36:37,405 --> 00:36:39,074
And at the other end,
810
00:36:39,074 --> 00:36:41,493
we got Tony Kanaan
doing donuts.
811
00:36:41,493 --> 00:36:43,244
[cheering]
812
00:36:44,454 --> 00:36:46,414
He's still our little brother.
813
00:36:47,332 --> 00:36:50,043
[Tony] It's hard to describe
how cool that was.
814
00:36:50,043 --> 00:36:52,170
Four professional
race car drivers.
815
00:36:52,170 --> 00:36:55,173
They're best friends
at the same team.
816
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,386
I will never forget,
Michael Andretti said to us,
817
00:37:00,428 --> 00:37:02,639
"You probably don't realize
how special this is."
818
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:05,850
[sea birds calling]
819
00:37:09,354 --> 00:37:11,606
Oh, my gosh, you guys.
820
00:37:14,526 --> 00:37:16,695
I thought this was gonna
be our forever home.
821
00:37:17,487 --> 00:37:19,948
[Sebastian] I mean, you
could've just told Leo no.
822
00:37:20,573 --> 00:37:22,283
- Yeah, but--
- Why didn't you say that?
823
00:37:22,283 --> 00:37:24,202
What if it's important for
your guys' journey,
824
00:37:24,202 --> 00:37:26,037
your next step
to become drivers?
825
00:37:26,037 --> 00:37:27,372
[Sebastian] It is.
826
00:37:28,373 --> 00:37:30,208
But all my friends
live in Miami.
827
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:31,876
[Oliver] We get to be closer
to the track
828
00:37:31,876 --> 00:37:33,253
and we get to drive more.
829
00:37:33,253 --> 00:37:35,046
[Susie] Am I the only one
that's stressed out?
830
00:37:35,046 --> 00:37:36,297
We've been here a long time.
831
00:37:36,297 --> 00:37:37,841
It's the longest place
I've ever lived
832
00:37:37,841 --> 00:37:39,134
in my entire life.
833
00:37:39,134 --> 00:37:40,760
Daddy really loved St. Pete,
and then I moved
834
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,389
when I started working for him
at the end of 2005.
835
00:37:45,140 --> 00:37:46,725
Were you like his butler?
836
00:37:46,725 --> 00:37:47,892
No.
837
00:37:49,102 --> 00:37:50,478
At the end of '05,
838
00:37:50,478 --> 00:37:53,898
Dan's first contract
was coming to an end.
839
00:37:54,649 --> 00:37:57,068
[Susie] Dan did not back down
from change,
840
00:37:57,736 --> 00:38:00,905
and he realized that he would
always be considered
841
00:38:00,905 --> 00:38:02,073
the baby of the team.
842
00:38:02,073 --> 00:38:03,616
[gentle music playing]
843
00:38:06,703 --> 00:38:08,246
[man] We're here today
to talk about
844
00:38:08,246 --> 00:38:10,457
our 2006 plans.
845
00:38:11,791 --> 00:38:14,044
It's a very exciting day
for our team.
846
00:38:16,588 --> 00:38:19,924
I couldn't be happier to be
a part of announcing
847
00:38:19,924 --> 00:38:22,385
we're going to have Dan
Wheldon driving for us.
848
00:38:22,385 --> 00:38:24,971
- [applause]
- [Dan] It's gonna be different,
849
00:38:24,971 --> 00:38:26,264
but there's no doubt in my mind
850
00:38:26,264 --> 00:38:27,766
that this team's capable of
851
00:38:27,766 --> 00:38:31,603
being able to give me
that same amount of success.
852
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,106
It was a big decision.
853
00:38:35,523 --> 00:38:37,442
I think it surprised everybody.
854
00:38:40,070 --> 00:38:41,279
That sucked,
855
00:38:41,696 --> 00:38:43,365
because we'd had such
a good run together
856
00:38:43,365 --> 00:38:44,824
and we were--
we were still having fun.
857
00:38:44,824 --> 00:38:47,035
All the bands and stuff,
they get to the point
858
00:38:47,035 --> 00:38:48,870
where they hate each other.
859
00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:50,330
We were still having fun.
860
00:38:50,789 --> 00:38:53,291
I was with him the entire time.
We were really close.
861
00:38:53,291 --> 00:38:55,210
And not once he told me.
862
00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:56,795
[somber music playing]
863
00:38:58,254 --> 00:38:59,798
And I kinda felt like,
864
00:39:00,632 --> 00:39:03,635
"Man I thought
we were closer than that."
865
00:39:03,635 --> 00:39:06,805
He never gave us any indication
he was gonna leave,
866
00:39:06,805 --> 00:39:09,933
and then he basically told us
right before he announced it,
867
00:39:09,933 --> 00:39:13,061
and that one hurt a little bit,
for sure.
868
00:39:13,812 --> 00:39:16,147
The bridge was burned
when he did that.
869
00:39:17,732 --> 00:39:20,819
[Chip] When Dan became
available to us,
870
00:39:20,819 --> 00:39:22,070
it surprised me.
871
00:39:22,904 --> 00:39:24,406
But one thing about Dan,
872
00:39:24,406 --> 00:39:26,658
once his mind's made up,
his mind's made up.
873
00:39:27,158 --> 00:39:29,244
[crowd cheering]
874
00:39:29,244 --> 00:39:32,163
What he brought
to the team was a spark
875
00:39:32,163 --> 00:39:34,374
that we sorely needed
at the time.
876
00:39:34,374 --> 00:39:37,711
I think that took
Scott Dixon by surprise.
877
00:39:38,837 --> 00:39:40,922
Hey, everyone.
I'm Lauren Bohlander.
878
00:39:40,922 --> 00:39:42,173
I'm Scott Dixon.
879
00:39:42,590 --> 00:39:44,175
- Oh, I'm not Scott Dixon?
- No.
880
00:39:44,175 --> 00:39:45,176
Sorry. I'm Dan Wheldon.
881
00:39:45,176 --> 00:39:47,512
[dramatic music playing]
882
00:39:49,973 --> 00:39:52,058
I was just hoping
I could keep my job.
883
00:39:52,058 --> 00:39:53,977
And Dan was coming over
884
00:39:53,977 --> 00:39:58,732
with a extreme head of steam
and popularity.
885
00:39:59,441 --> 00:40:01,151
He was gonna turn
things around.
886
00:40:01,151 --> 00:40:02,902
- This is the whole store?
- Mm-hmm.
887
00:40:02,902 --> 00:40:05,447
Can we shut the store, please?
Can we shut the store down?
888
00:40:05,447 --> 00:40:07,157
[woman speaks indistinctly

889
00:40:07,157 --> 00:40:08,867
[laughter]
890
00:40:09,159 --> 00:40:11,953
[Scott] He had this immense
confidence on ovals
891
00:40:11,953 --> 00:40:13,163
that shocked you.
892
00:40:13,163 --> 00:40:14,539
He would roll out the pits,
893
00:40:14,539 --> 00:40:16,124
you'd watch the leaderboards
and, bam,
894
00:40:16,124 --> 00:40:17,542
he'd go straight to the top.
895
00:40:18,793 --> 00:40:21,755
When I started looking
at what he does,
896
00:40:21,755 --> 00:40:24,049
I was like, "Man,
this guy does something
897
00:40:24,049 --> 00:40:25,759
totally different to what I do."
898
00:40:25,759 --> 00:40:27,635
[gulls calling]
899
00:40:31,306 --> 00:40:33,433
[Clive] We went to see Dan.
900
00:40:34,059 --> 00:40:35,852
And I just remember
looking across the room,
901
00:40:35,852 --> 00:40:39,064
and I saw Susie
stroking Dan's head.
902
00:40:39,064 --> 00:40:40,398
And I thought,
903
00:40:40,398 --> 00:40:42,776
"Susie, that wasn't
in your contract, was it?"
904
00:40:42,776 --> 00:40:43,902
[chuckles]
905
00:40:44,235 --> 00:40:46,237
[peaceful music playing]
906
00:40:49,741 --> 00:40:52,702
[Susie] I just loved
making things happen.
907
00:40:53,078 --> 00:40:54,162
Is that better?
908
00:40:54,162 --> 00:40:55,622
- Is the helmet okay?
- Yeah.
909
00:40:56,164 --> 00:40:59,376
[Susie] So that he could focus
on what he needed to do.
910
00:40:59,376 --> 00:41:01,378
[man on radio]
White flag. White flag.
911
00:41:01,378 --> 00:41:03,254
[man speaking indistinctly]
912
00:41:04,381 --> 00:41:07,801
Inside. Inside. Inside.
913
00:41:07,801 --> 00:41:10,095
Still there.
914
00:41:10,095 --> 00:41:11,262
Still inside.
915
00:41:11,596 --> 00:41:12,639
Still inside.
916
00:41:13,098 --> 00:41:15,016
Still inside. Come on, buddy.
Come on, buddy!
917
00:41:15,016 --> 00:41:17,185
[announcer]
Wheldon beats Castroneves!
918
00:41:18,228 --> 00:41:19,521
His tenth career win,
919
00:41:19,521 --> 00:41:21,439
second straight
here at Homestead.
920
00:41:21,439 --> 00:41:22,607
[man] Nice job!
921
00:41:22,607 --> 00:41:23,775
[Dan]
Real proud to be part of
922
00:41:23,775 --> 00:41:25,777
Target Chip Ganassi Racing.
923
00:41:25,777 --> 00:41:28,154
That guy's a race driver,
isn't he?
924
00:41:29,114 --> 00:41:30,365
Holy moly.
925
00:41:30,365 --> 00:41:32,909
[Susie] And we were just
spending time together
926
00:41:32,909 --> 00:41:35,829
a lot more
even outside of work.
927
00:41:36,496 --> 00:41:38,123
There was definitely a shift,
928
00:41:38,623 --> 00:41:41,126
and feelings started to change.
929
00:41:41,626 --> 00:41:44,129
You know, we did cross
the line. [chuckles]
930
00:41:46,631 --> 00:41:51,177
It was scary because
I really loved my job.
931
00:41:53,805 --> 00:41:55,765
So, when you change that,
there's always a risk
932
00:41:55,765 --> 00:41:58,018
that it's not gonna be
the same.
933
00:41:59,352 --> 00:42:00,645
[Oliver] It's getting dark.
934
00:42:01,396 --> 00:42:02,522
[Sebastian]
Where'd the moon go?
935
00:42:02,522 --> 00:42:03,648
[Oliver] It died.
936
00:42:03,648 --> 00:42:05,150
[Sebastian]
Sank into the ocean.
937
00:42:05,150 --> 00:42:06,317
[Oliver] Passed away.
938
00:42:08,611 --> 00:42:10,947
[Susie] We've blurred
the boundaries now.
939
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,950
[engines roaring]

00:42:13,950 --> 00:42:16,369

00:42:17,037 --> 00:42:18,538
[announcer]
Back here at Michigan,
942
00:42:18,538 --> 00:42:21,332
right now Dan Wheldon
and Dario Franchitti
943
00:42:21,332 --> 00:42:22,834
trying to decide
who's going to lead.
944
00:42:22,834 --> 00:42:27,005
And speeds are already
217, 218 plus.
945
00:42:27,672 --> 00:42:28,757
[Dario] I came from the back,
946
00:42:28,757 --> 00:42:30,633
and Dan and I
were wheel to wheel.
947
00:42:30,633 --> 00:42:32,552
[announcer] Franchitti
retaking the lead
948
00:42:32,552 --> 00:42:34,429
at the line,
but this isn't over yet.
949
00:42:34,429 --> 00:42:35,972
We're gonna go three wide
into one.
950
00:42:35,972 --> 00:42:38,975
And he was bloody good on
those high speed superspeedways
951
00:42:38,975 --> 00:42:40,643
with a very close race.
952
00:42:41,603 --> 00:42:44,314
And I think he misjudged
and caught my left rear.
953
00:42:44,314 --> 00:42:47,192
[announcer] Oh, look out!
Franchitti's upside down.
954
00:42:49,235 --> 00:42:50,862
Wheldon is involved.
955
00:42:51,363 --> 00:42:52,697
Dixon is involved.
956
00:42:52,697 --> 00:42:55,033
[ominous music playing]
957
00:42:58,536 --> 00:43:01,122
[Susie]
I'd seen him wreck before.
958
00:43:04,668 --> 00:43:07,170
But it definitely
felt different.
959
00:43:07,545 --> 00:43:09,047
[tires screeching]
960
00:43:09,047 --> 00:43:10,882
[crowd gasps]
961
00:43:12,217 --> 00:43:15,553
[Susie] This is the person
that I'm falling in love with
962
00:43:15,553 --> 00:43:18,264
and I want to have
a future with.
963
00:43:18,264 --> 00:43:21,142
That could completely be gone.
964
00:43:22,686 --> 00:43:24,354
I'm dying inside.
965
00:43:26,189 --> 00:43:27,732
[Chip] Dan, do you copy?
966
00:43:31,778 --> 00:43:34,072
He'd said something
to me after.
967
00:43:34,989 --> 00:43:38,743
"You know, it's not always
great to date a driver,
968
00:43:39,411 --> 00:43:43,248
and I want to make sure that
you're gonna be okay with it."
969
00:43:44,916 --> 00:43:48,712
It's gonna sound really
selfish on his part,
970
00:43:49,379 --> 00:43:51,631
but I always knew that it was
971
00:43:51,631 --> 00:43:55,135
motor racing and then... me.
972
00:43:55,135 --> 00:43:57,178

out of turn number 11.

Big trouble for
Sebastian Wheldon.
976
00:44:16,281 --> 00:44:17,866
Right there in the middle
of the track,
977
00:44:17,866 --> 00:44:20,660
the karts were piled up
on top of each other.

982
00:44:47,437 --> 00:44:48,897
Help!

[go-kart crunching]
984
00:45:01,117 --> 00:45:03,953
- Help me. No, please--
- You can't. You can't.
985
00:45:04,996 --> 00:45:06,664
- [Sebastian] Can I get on?
- No.

[Sebastian whimpers]

[Susie] Their safety is a big
part of what I think about.
989
00:45:18,343 --> 00:45:21,346
And as they get into it
deeper and deeper,
990
00:45:21,346 --> 00:45:22,722
the stakes get a lot higher,
991
00:45:22,722 --> 00:45:25,141
and this could all go
really wrong.
992
00:45:25,141 --> 00:45:27,352
[siren wailing]
993
00:45:29,938 --> 00:45:32,816
I could have waited
until they're older.
994
00:45:33,108 --> 00:45:35,026
But it's too late.
You can't.
995
00:45:36,778 --> 00:45:39,739
So when do they usually--
for these drivers,
996
00:45:39,739 --> 00:45:44,536
when do they move up to
kind of Indy 500 and Formula?
997
00:45:44,536 --> 00:45:45,870
After 16, 17 years?
998
00:45:45,870 --> 00:45:47,580
Eighteen? What's the cutoff?
999
00:45:47,580 --> 00:45:49,374
No. No, they, um...
1000
00:45:50,208 --> 00:45:52,836
So in Junior Class,
they'll start testing,
1001
00:45:52,836 --> 00:45:55,171
like, a Formula car
when they're 14.
1002
00:46:03,722 --> 00:46:05,390
[Sven] I'm nervous when
I think about Dan,
1003
00:46:05,390 --> 00:46:06,808
what happened to him.
1004
00:46:07,684 --> 00:46:08,852
So, you always hope and pray,
1005
00:46:08,852 --> 00:46:11,104
that will never happen
to the boys.
1006
00:46:13,690 --> 00:46:17,193
It's kind of sad to even
go back to that moment,
1007
00:46:17,569 --> 00:46:19,070
but I remember Susan and Dan,
1008
00:46:19,070 --> 00:46:21,948
they sang "Happy Birthday"
for me at 9:00 in the morning.
1009
00:46:22,949 --> 00:46:24,784
And I remember telling Dan...
1010
00:46:26,411 --> 00:46:27,787
[sniffles]
1011
00:46:28,663 --> 00:46:30,999
[somber music playing]
1012
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,630
[softly] It's okay.
1013
00:46:37,630 --> 00:46:39,132
It's okay.
1014
00:46:39,466 --> 00:46:40,550
I know.
1015
00:46:41,092 --> 00:46:42,802
[Susie] The dangers
of the sport,
1016
00:46:42,802 --> 00:46:44,846
it's the big elephant
in the room.
1017
00:46:46,056 --> 00:46:48,183
Dan and I never spoke about it.
1018
00:46:49,351 --> 00:46:50,477
Hi.
1019
00:46:50,477 --> 00:46:52,395
My name is Susie Behm,
1020
00:46:52,896 --> 00:46:56,483
soon to be Susie Wheldon.
1021
00:46:58,276 --> 00:47:01,404
I have never spoken about it
with other wives either.
1022
00:47:03,114 --> 00:47:06,743
It's not often I cry, but I
really wanted to say to you,
1023
00:47:07,077 --> 00:47:09,704
that it makes me so proud and
happy to call you my wife.
1024
00:47:09,704 --> 00:47:11,706
You make me so very happy,
1025
00:47:11,706 --> 00:47:13,291
and I hope I do
the same for you.
1026
00:47:13,291 --> 00:47:14,376
So, thank you.
1027
00:47:15,418 --> 00:47:17,504
[Susie] It's just something
you do not talk about.
1028
00:47:17,504 --> 00:47:19,422
[camera shutter clicking]
1029
00:47:20,674 --> 00:47:22,175
And, of course,
1030
00:47:22,175 --> 00:47:24,135
the big joke in racing
is, like,
1031
00:47:24,135 --> 00:47:25,845
once you get married,
you, like, slow down
1032
00:47:25,845 --> 00:47:27,097
and you're not as good.
1033
00:47:27,097 --> 00:47:29,140
So, I'm like, "Oh, my, God."

00:47:47,992 --> 00:47:49,619
more road courses
1044
00:47:49,619 --> 00:47:50,912
and street courses.
1045
00:47:50,912 --> 00:47:52,455
And as they added
more of those,
1046
00:47:52,455 --> 00:47:55,500
they became more important
to the overall championship.
1047
00:47:57,836 --> 00:47:59,629
[Scott] On ovals,
he was very good
1048
00:47:59,629 --> 00:48:02,173
at analyzing
and understanding,
1049
00:48:02,173 --> 00:48:04,092
and his OCD
kicked into high gear.
1050
00:48:04,092 --> 00:48:06,386
He knew what he needed to do.
But with road courses,
1051
00:48:06,386 --> 00:48:09,431
there's a lot more variables,
different things going on.
1052
00:48:09,848 --> 00:48:12,684
The style of driving
that would then come in,
1053
00:48:12,976 --> 00:48:14,477
it didn't suit him.
1054
00:48:15,770 --> 00:48:17,397
[tires squealing]
1055
00:48:20,859 --> 00:48:22,360
It's a case of just
getting the car
1056
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,863
to do what you want it to do
on the road courses,
1057
00:48:24,863 --> 00:48:26,406
and I haven't been able
to achieve that.
1058
00:48:26,406 --> 00:48:28,033
[announcer] Look out.
Under heavy braking,
1059
00:48:28,033 --> 00:48:29,367
somebody's gotta go straight.
1060
00:48:29,367 --> 00:48:32,037
A right rear failure on
Dan Wheldon's car.
1061
00:48:32,037 --> 00:48:35,582
At the same time, Scott
is absolutely smashing it.
1062
00:48:35,582 --> 00:48:37,250
He's winning everything.
1063
00:48:38,251 --> 00:48:39,961
[Chip] He won
the Indianapolis 500
1064
00:48:39,961 --> 00:48:41,880
and he won the championship.
1065
00:48:42,297 --> 00:48:44,257
And some of that
was really due
1066
00:48:44,257 --> 00:48:45,967
to what he'd learned from Dan
1067
00:48:45,967 --> 00:48:48,845
the previous years of them
being teammates.
1068
00:48:49,512 --> 00:48:52,474
He opened the gate to a totally
different dimension for me.
1069
00:48:54,768 --> 00:48:57,854
[Dario] Dan's driving was
so much about confidence.
1070
00:48:57,854 --> 00:48:59,731
And, of course, the more
people talked about it,
1071
00:48:59,731 --> 00:49:01,608
the more it became mental.
1072
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,235
[Dan] It's a sport I'm very
passionate about.
1073
00:49:04,235 --> 00:49:05,945
It's all I've grown up knowing.
1074
00:49:05,945 --> 00:49:07,781
I'd like to be remembered
as a winner,
1075
00:49:07,781 --> 00:49:11,743
and I want to be considered one
of the best drivers of all time.
1076
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,703
It's what makes me tick.
1077
00:49:13,703 --> 00:49:16,122
My goals are to win,
and if I'm not achieving them,
1078
00:49:16,122 --> 00:49:18,583
I'm not a happy person
and I don't feel successful.
1079
00:49:18,583 --> 00:49:21,169
So, winning's all that matters.
1080
00:49:21,586 --> 00:49:23,004
It's all that counts.
1081
00:49:24,255 --> 00:49:27,592
[Chip] We put some pressure on
to make some changes
1082
00:49:27,592 --> 00:49:28,760
in the way he did things,
1083
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,262
and he wasn't real accepting
of that,
1084
00:49:31,596 --> 00:49:33,807
and we started to drift apart.
1085
00:49:33,807 --> 00:49:36,351
[solemn music playing]
1086
00:49:36,351 --> 00:49:37,811
My contract is up.
1087
00:49:37,811 --> 00:49:39,604
I've been on Andretti forever.
1088
00:49:40,021 --> 00:49:43,775
Chip calls me, and he offers
me Dan's spot.
1089
00:49:44,776 --> 00:49:46,403
I'm very divided.
1090
00:49:46,986 --> 00:49:50,365
What am I gonna tell Dan?
But then you go, "Well,
1091
00:49:50,365 --> 00:49:53,243
he didn't tell me
when he left Andretti."
1092
00:49:54,327 --> 00:49:56,621
[announcer]
Dan Wheldon in the ten.
1093
00:49:56,621 --> 00:49:58,248
[Tony] We go to Kentucky
1094
00:49:58,248 --> 00:50:00,542
and we're racing
really hard together,
1095
00:50:00,542 --> 00:50:04,254
and he did something that
we do to other people,
1096
00:50:04,254 --> 00:50:06,297
but we never did to
each other, ever.
1097
00:50:06,297 --> 00:50:08,425
[announcer] Wheldon takes
the air off of Tony.
1098
00:50:08,425 --> 00:50:10,552
That's a bit of a dirty play,
I'll tell you that.
1099
00:50:10,552 --> 00:50:12,637
That's not something that you
generally see between people
1100
00:50:12,637 --> 00:50:15,181
that know each other well
and used to be teammates.
1101
00:50:15,181 --> 00:50:16,850
[Tony] After the race,
1102
00:50:17,225 --> 00:50:19,144
I go, "What was that?"
1103
00:50:19,144 --> 00:50:22,188
And he just told me, "Go f..."
1104
00:50:23,148 --> 00:50:24,524
and slammed the door on me.
1105
00:50:27,068 --> 00:50:28,778
We didn't speak for two years.
1106
00:50:29,279 --> 00:50:32,490
I decided at the last minute
to stay with Andretti.
1107
00:50:32,490 --> 00:50:36,494
Chip had to go back to his
fallback which was re-sign Dan.
1108
00:50:37,620 --> 00:50:39,539
[Chip] When it came
down to it, we said,
1109
00:50:39,539 --> 00:50:42,083
"Dan, we'd like to have you.
We wanna offer this seat."
1110
00:50:42,083 --> 00:50:43,626
- He said--
-"Oh, hey, Chip.
1111
00:50:43,626 --> 00:50:46,463
You got the wrong number.
Are you trying to reach Tony?
1112
00:50:47,005 --> 00:50:48,173
I'm the second choice now?
1113
00:50:48,173 --> 00:50:49,799
Then I've already moved on.
1114
00:50:49,799 --> 00:50:51,426
I'm going to find
somebody else.
1115
00:50:51,426 --> 00:50:52,677
Sorry."
1116
00:50:54,596 --> 00:50:55,388
[chuckles]
1117
00:50:55,805 --> 00:50:58,808
He was a risk-taker,
and sometimes it paid off
1118
00:50:58,808 --> 00:51:00,435
and sometimes it didn't.
1119
00:51:01,353 --> 00:51:03,855
I'm the opposite.
I'm always second-guessing
1120
00:51:03,855 --> 00:51:05,440
and like, "Oh, my God,
is this right?
1121
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,817
How is this gonna be
two years from now, ten years?"
1122
00:51:07,817 --> 00:51:10,653
I think that's one of the things
I fell in love with.
1123
00:51:11,363 --> 00:51:13,239
[Chip] When Dan left
the team,
1124
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,617
we offered the drive
to Dario Franchitti.
1125
00:51:15,617 --> 00:51:17,410
And I took over the 10 car.
1126
00:51:20,163 --> 00:51:22,374
I've made worse decisions.
[chuckles]
1127
00:51:22,791 --> 00:51:24,292
[crowd cheering]
1128
00:51:24,292 --> 00:51:28,380
[announcer] Dario will win
his second Indianapolis 500
1129
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:31,383
in the bright red Target car,
number 10.
1130
00:51:32,008 --> 00:51:35,720
That... stung a little bit.
1131
00:51:38,723 --> 00:51:40,392
[announcer 1] Tough one
for Oliver Wheldon.
1132
00:51:40,392 --> 00:51:42,894
It seemed like he was
gonna be in a potential fight.
1133
00:51:44,896 --> 00:51:47,065
[announcer 2] Wheldon dropping
all the way down to 10.
1134
00:51:47,065 --> 00:51:49,359
He qualified third,
had a bad start,
1135
00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:51,152
lost a handful of spots.
1136
00:51:51,152 --> 00:51:53,113
Clearly not where
he was looking to be
1137
00:51:53,113 --> 00:51:55,532
or was expected to be.
1138
00:51:55,532 --> 00:51:57,742
[somber music playing]
1139
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,246
Do you want me to
get you some lunch?
1140
00:52:02,914 --> 00:52:04,332
What would you like?
1141
00:52:06,084 --> 00:52:07,669
- It's okay.
- Are you sure?
1142
00:52:07,669 --> 00:52:09,129
Yes, I'm sure.
1143
00:52:16,428 --> 00:52:18,304
How did the engine feel?
Like you had power?
1144
00:52:18,304 --> 00:52:19,764
Or was it just the chassis?
1145
00:52:19,764 --> 00:52:22,392
[Oliver speaks indistinctly]
1146
00:52:23,601 --> 00:52:24,602
Huh?
1147
00:52:24,602 --> 00:52:27,439
[indistinct chatter]
1148
00:52:31,026 --> 00:52:32,527
[child whimpers]
1149
00:52:41,619 --> 00:52:43,997
[Susie] One day, these boys
are gonna say to me,
1150
00:52:43,997 --> 00:52:46,291
"I wish our Dad was here
and not you.
1151
00:52:46,291 --> 00:52:47,625
My mom doesn't know anything,
1152
00:52:47,625 --> 00:52:49,544
and if my dad was here
it'd be so much better."
1153
00:52:49,544 --> 00:52:51,296
[announcer 1]
Sebastian Wheldon,
1154
00:52:51,296 --> 00:52:54,632
only able move up
six spots to 23rd.
1155
00:52:54,632 --> 00:52:56,801
[engines revving]
1156
00:52:57,635 --> 00:52:59,512
Your times are not bad
towards the end.
1157
00:52:59,512 --> 00:53:01,556
- I was looking at them.
- [clattering]
1158
00:53:01,556 --> 00:53:02,849
Are you okay?
1159
00:53:02,849 --> 00:53:04,225
Huh? No?
1160
00:53:04,225 --> 00:53:06,519
You don't need to be
throwing my phone around.
1161
00:53:11,775 --> 00:53:14,361
It's just like the dagger
to the heart.
1162
00:53:15,945 --> 00:53:19,157
But that's their own grief that
they're gonna have to learn
1163
00:53:19,157 --> 00:53:22,869
to process and navigate
and understand.
1164
00:53:26,247 --> 00:53:27,832
[Leo] What I can say?
1165
00:53:28,166 --> 00:53:30,126
You, Sebastian. Come on, buddy.
1166
00:53:30,126 --> 00:53:31,169
You're not thinking.
1167
00:53:31,169 --> 00:53:32,879
You're just driving.
1168
00:53:32,879 --> 00:53:34,339
You know Dallara?
1169
00:53:34,339 --> 00:53:36,633
Why he's sponsoring you?
No, you don't know.
1170
00:53:37,175 --> 00:53:38,927
We are a disaster.
1171
00:53:40,011 --> 00:53:42,347
So, what direction we wanna go?
1172
00:53:42,347 --> 00:53:45,183
If you wanna go forward,
be professional,
1173
00:53:45,183 --> 00:53:47,394
or just hanging around
with other guys?
1174
00:53:47,394 --> 00:53:50,522
[somber music continues]
1175
00:54:01,741 --> 00:54:04,244
I'm a little bit worried
because we're losing confidence.
1176
00:54:04,244 --> 00:54:06,913
I don't know--
I want to find why.
1177
00:54:06,913 --> 00:54:09,124
When you really kind of stop
and think about it,
1178
00:54:09,124 --> 00:54:12,377
it's like, you know, all these
kids are here with their dads.
1179
00:54:12,377 --> 00:54:16,798
You know? And it's like,
that has to be obvious,
1180
00:54:16,798 --> 00:54:19,384
and more obvious to them
as they're getting older.
1181
00:54:19,384 --> 00:54:21,720
I understand a little bit more,
yeah, yeah.
1182
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:24,389
They're trying to process that
a little bit.
1183
00:54:27,851 --> 00:54:31,521
[Scott] Dan had been humbled
through that couple of years.
1184
00:54:32,439 --> 00:54:36,067
His move to National Guard
Panther Racing, it was iffy.
1185
00:54:36,526 --> 00:54:38,695
That team had had
its struggles.
1186
00:54:39,404 --> 00:54:41,072
But how you deal
with those moments
1187
00:54:41,072 --> 00:54:43,074
is what shapes you
as a person.
1188
00:54:43,074 --> 00:54:44,409
Happy Father's Day to you.
1189
00:54:44,409 --> 00:54:46,661
You're a new dad.
Go home and celebrate.
1190
00:54:46,661 --> 00:54:49,330
I hope you'll be interviewing
my son in about 18 years.
1191
00:54:49,330 --> 00:54:51,916
[Scott] It's how
we all mature, right?
1192
00:54:52,334 --> 00:54:53,918
And you could definitely
see that with Dan.
1193
00:54:53,918 --> 00:54:56,588
Married, young family,
1194
00:54:56,588 --> 00:54:58,214
but still bigger than life.
1195
00:54:58,214 --> 00:55:02,218
Sebastian, here we go.
One, two, three, go!
1196
00:55:02,218 --> 00:55:04,179
[peaceful music playing]
1197
00:55:04,179 --> 00:55:06,014
[Susie] When the boys
came along,
1198
00:55:06,014 --> 00:55:10,393
you could see the joy
and the pride in his eyes.
1199
00:55:10,393 --> 00:55:12,687
- Se-bas!
- Se-bas!
1200
00:55:12,687 --> 00:55:14,481
[laughing]
1201
00:55:15,899 --> 00:55:17,525
[Dario] For someone
that was so controlled
1202
00:55:17,525 --> 00:55:20,153
and buttoned-up
in all aspects of life...
1203
00:55:20,904 --> 00:55:23,782
[Susie] Oh, is Daddy having
an aneurysm?
1204
00:55:24,366 --> 00:55:28,119
...the sharp edges that he had,
they disappeared.
1205
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:30,246
[laughter]
1206
00:55:30,246 --> 00:55:31,790
[Susie] Dan changed.
1207
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:36,544
I felt like he could relax
sometimes.
1208
00:55:37,462 --> 00:55:39,297
He was just living
in the moment
1209
00:55:39,297 --> 00:55:42,384
and really enjoying
his family.
1210
00:55:43,426 --> 00:55:45,261
Is that your favorite toy?
1211
00:55:45,261 --> 00:55:47,681
[babbling happily]
1212
00:55:48,264 --> 00:55:49,808
[Susie] How do you get inside?
1213
00:55:51,851 --> 00:55:55,021
[mewling]
1214
00:55:55,021 --> 00:55:59,609
[Susie] This is Seabiscuit and
Daddy in go-kart training.
1215
00:56:01,528 --> 00:56:03,488
It put things in perspective.
1216
00:56:04,322 --> 00:56:06,074
Go, go, go!
1217
00:56:07,617 --> 00:56:09,828
[Susie cheers, laughs]
1218
00:56:09,828 --> 00:56:11,663
[Dan] Save that
for the racetrack.
1219
00:56:14,332 --> 00:56:16,334
[Susie] I remember
he wrote me a card.
1220
00:56:16,710 --> 00:56:19,004
It was like, "Listen,
I've never put anything
1221
00:56:19,004 --> 00:56:21,256
before racing until now.
1222
00:56:21,589 --> 00:56:23,925
We can walk away
and do whatever.
1223
00:56:23,925 --> 00:56:25,677
I just want you to be happy.
1224
00:56:26,136 --> 00:56:27,762
You're more important to me."
1225
00:56:29,431 --> 00:56:32,600
I knew how big that was
for him to say that.
1226
00:56:35,645 --> 00:56:39,441
[Tony] One day in an autograph
session, I'm signing...
1227
00:56:40,775 --> 00:56:44,696
I look up and see
a huge set of teeth.
1228
00:56:46,698 --> 00:56:48,575
Dan came and hugged me
from behind
1229
00:56:48,575 --> 00:56:52,203
and gave me an arm lock,
like, whoa.
1230
00:56:52,996 --> 00:56:55,540
And that was it.
We started talking again.
1231
00:56:56,750 --> 00:56:59,127
And we picked up
from where we left off.
1232
00:56:59,127 --> 00:57:00,795
[inaudible]
1233
00:57:01,629 --> 00:57:05,342
He was a content,
complete person,
1234
00:57:05,342 --> 00:57:09,220
really for the first time
since I knew him.
1235
00:57:14,392 --> 00:57:16,853
[Leo] You go too fast
into the turn,
1236
00:57:17,562 --> 00:57:21,733
and your exit is slow
compared with him, okay?
1237
00:57:22,192 --> 00:57:24,319
He's rolling more speed.
1238
00:57:24,694 --> 00:57:26,279
Okay. I can fix that.
1239
00:57:27,238 --> 00:57:29,574
- [Leo] You're better here.
- [Sebastian] In that turn?
1240
00:57:29,574 --> 00:57:31,493
[Leo] Mm-hmm.
You have to fix a little,
1241
00:57:31,493 --> 00:57:32,786
not that much.
1242
00:57:40,585 --> 00:57:42,837
"Dear Mom, I have probably
blown any chance I had
1243
00:57:42,837 --> 00:57:46,466
at racing because my attitude
is very bad and disrespectful.
1244
00:57:47,425 --> 00:57:48,635
I miss my dad.
1245
00:57:48,635 --> 00:57:50,595
Just watching
all the other dads
1246
00:57:50,595 --> 00:57:53,765
walking their kids to the grid
and it hurts badly.
1247
00:57:53,765 --> 00:57:56,685
I would love it if I can change
the day with my actions,
1248
00:57:56,685 --> 00:57:58,436
if that's okay with you.
1249
00:57:58,436 --> 00:57:59,896
Love you."
1250
00:58:01,940 --> 00:58:04,150
It's okay to feel
those things.
1251
00:58:04,693 --> 00:58:05,902
[Sebastian] I want to race.
1252
00:58:05,902 --> 00:58:07,612
I want to be better
than my dad.
1253
00:58:07,612 --> 00:58:09,948
[Susie] I'm not talking
about that, sweetheart.
1254
00:58:10,573 --> 00:58:12,200
I was just talking
about the things
1255
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,451
that you were saying
about Daddy.
1256
00:58:13,451 --> 00:58:15,370
You never said that
to me before.
1257
00:58:15,370 --> 00:58:16,913
You don't think
I think about it and miss him
1258
00:58:16,913 --> 00:58:18,331
being there
with you and Oliver?
1259
00:58:18,331 --> 00:58:19,916
He should be there.
1260
00:58:22,293 --> 00:58:25,005
[solemn music playing]
1261
00:58:38,476 --> 00:58:41,104
[faint indistinct chatter]
1262
00:58:41,104 --> 00:58:44,024
[ping-pong ball clattering]
1263
00:58:44,524 --> 00:58:46,651
[Sebastian] Oh... Five-five.
1264
00:58:46,651 --> 00:58:49,738
Tony was there was Dan was
trying to figure this whole--
1265
00:58:49,738 --> 00:58:51,281
Trying to figure himself out.
1266
00:58:51,281 --> 00:58:52,323
Oh, yeah.
1267
00:58:52,323 --> 00:58:54,576
So, you've seen it all. [laughs]
1268
00:58:54,576 --> 00:58:56,327
- [Tony] You were there too.
- [Susie] I know.
1269
00:58:56,327 --> 00:58:57,912
But it-- you know.
1270
00:58:58,413 --> 00:58:59,748
[Oliver] Oh.
1271
00:59:01,166 --> 00:59:04,085
[Tony] Do you guys know why
it's good to play ping pong?
1272
00:59:04,502 --> 00:59:06,004
The quicker you are reflex,
1273
00:59:06,004 --> 00:59:07,839
the quicker you're gonna be
as a race car driver,
1274
00:59:07,839 --> 00:59:09,966
so let's see how good you are.
Ready?
1275
00:59:10,675 --> 00:59:13,636
[peaceful music playing]
1276
00:59:19,184 --> 00:59:20,435
[sighs]
1277
00:59:20,435 --> 00:59:22,395
Do you think you lost
the race already?
1278
00:59:22,395 --> 00:59:24,189
- Yeah.
- [Tony] No.
1279
00:59:24,564 --> 00:59:26,107
Next!
1280
00:59:29,152 --> 00:59:31,696
- Look at your mom.
- [Susie] I know. I'm actually--
1281
00:59:31,696 --> 00:59:34,240
- For somebody that didn't play.
- [Susie laughs]
1282
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,867
I'm good at something too.
1283
00:59:36,743 --> 00:59:39,120
All their talents don't come
only from Dan.
1284
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,288
Come on.
1285
00:59:40,288 --> 00:59:42,207
- Yeah. Come on.
- [laughs]
1286
00:59:42,207 --> 00:59:43,667
Come on.
1287
00:59:44,334 --> 00:59:46,252
- [straining]
- Is that all you got?
1288
00:59:46,670 --> 00:59:48,380
I'm only ten!
1289
00:59:48,380 --> 00:59:49,881
You-- you shouldn't be talking.
1290
00:59:49,881 --> 00:59:51,299
I'm only 46.
1291
00:59:52,175 --> 00:59:53,301
Oh, both hands!
1292
00:59:53,843 --> 00:59:54,886
Okay.
1293
00:59:54,886 --> 00:59:56,554
Come on,
the two of you together.
1294
00:59:56,554 --> 00:59:57,889
Let's go.
1295
00:59:58,556 --> 01:00:00,100
Oh, you were close.
1296
01:00:00,392 --> 01:00:02,060
Look, look, look.
1297
01:00:02,060 --> 01:00:04,062
[laughter]
1298
01:00:05,063 --> 01:00:06,731
[boys laughing]
1299
01:00:09,776 --> 01:00:11,861
[Michael] Now, you guys
understand what pressure is?
1300
01:00:11,861 --> 01:00:13,571
- [Sebastian] Yes.
- [Oliver] Tire pressures?
1301
01:00:13,571 --> 01:00:15,782
Not tire pressures. [laughs]
1302
01:00:15,782 --> 01:00:17,742
Yeah, they know tire pressures.
1303
01:00:18,243 --> 01:00:19,703
- Tire pressures.
- Woo-hoo!
1304
01:00:19,703 --> 01:00:21,079
[Susie] A different
kind of pressure.
1305
01:00:21,079 --> 01:00:22,831
[Michael] A different
kind of pressure, like...
1306
01:00:22,831 --> 01:00:25,417
- Like on the...
- It's more pressure like
1307
01:00:25,417 --> 01:00:27,669
you guys being Dan's son,
1308
01:00:27,669 --> 01:00:29,921
a lot of people are
gonna be watching you
1309
01:00:29,921 --> 01:00:31,923
and eyes are gonna
be on you.
1310
01:00:31,923 --> 01:00:33,174
I'm sure you guys
are gonna feel
1311
01:00:33,174 --> 01:00:34,968
a little different
than other drivers,
1312
01:00:34,968 --> 01:00:37,679
'cause I know I did
when I was driving growing up.
1313
01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:40,974
A lot of people expected you
to win, which is unfair,
1314
01:00:40,974 --> 01:00:43,143
because not everybody
can win every race.
1315
01:00:43,143 --> 01:00:45,729
So, you guys gotta know that
when you go out there and do it,
1316
01:00:45,729 --> 01:00:47,939
don't worry about what
everybody else thinks.
1317
01:00:47,939 --> 01:00:50,025
'Cause if you start worrying
about what they think,
1318
01:00:50,025 --> 01:00:52,610
then it gets your head
all messed up.
1319
01:00:53,278 --> 01:00:55,780
Do you guys feel like people
expect a lot more out of you?
1320
01:00:55,780 --> 01:00:56,906
- I don't.
- Yeah.
1321
01:00:56,906 --> 01:00:58,533
[Michael] You don't?
That's good.
1322
01:00:58,533 --> 01:01:01,119
Just a little. It's not even--
1323
01:01:01,119 --> 01:01:03,788
[Michael] There's nothing
wrong with feeling it.
1324
01:01:04,789 --> 01:01:07,292
[somber music playing]
1325
01:01:14,174 --> 01:01:17,469
[announcer 1] Dan Wheldon
running back in 15th position.
1326
01:01:17,469 --> 01:01:19,262
Tough weekend for Dan.
1327
01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:23,975
[announcer 2]
He's just been struggling
1328
01:01:23,975 --> 01:01:25,393
to get a handle on things.
1329
01:01:26,978 --> 01:01:29,147
[Michael] He loses his ride
at Panther.
1330
01:01:29,814 --> 01:01:32,150
Dan was a bit on
desperate times, for sure.
1331
01:01:32,567 --> 01:01:34,235
[birds calling]
1332
01:01:43,661 --> 01:01:45,622
[Dario] Dan's out of a ride.
I'm like, what?
1333
01:01:45,622 --> 01:01:48,333
You've got one of
the most talented drivers
1334
01:01:48,333 --> 01:01:49,542
of a generation,
1335
01:01:49,876 --> 01:01:51,211
and he's out of a ride.
1336
01:01:52,337 --> 01:01:53,838
How is this possible
1337
01:01:53,838 --> 01:01:56,216
that Dan Wheldon
is not gonna drive?
1338
01:01:57,801 --> 01:01:59,344
[Scott] It's a pretty
fickle business,
1339
01:01:59,344 --> 01:02:03,348
so it didn't surprise me that
options were changing for Dan.
1340
01:02:04,015 --> 01:02:07,852
[Bryan] Later in my career,
I started a part-time team.
1341
01:02:08,353 --> 01:02:11,022
So, I reached out and said,
"Hey, I don't know
1342
01:02:11,022 --> 01:02:12,816
if this is gonna be
of interest,
1343
01:02:12,816 --> 01:02:15,026
but we're gonna run
a car at the Indy 500.
1344
01:02:15,026 --> 01:02:17,195
Would you consider
driving for us?"
1345
01:02:17,195 --> 01:02:19,864
We'd only entered
one IndyCar race ever.
1346
01:02:19,864 --> 01:02:21,866
We were the slowest car
in the field.
1347
01:02:21,866 --> 01:02:23,702
We crashed in the race.
1348
01:02:23,702 --> 01:02:25,203
[announcer]
Right in the middle of a turn,
1349
01:02:25,203 --> 01:02:27,747
goes off and ends up
hitting the wall.
1350
01:02:28,748 --> 01:02:30,667
[sighs] I remember thinking,
1351
01:02:30,667 --> 01:02:32,669
"Is it the right thing
for Dan?"
1352
01:02:33,420 --> 01:02:35,463
Dan, you know if you show up
in Indianapolis,
1353
01:02:35,463 --> 01:02:37,048
you've got a chance at winning.
1354
01:02:37,716 --> 01:02:40,552
Could Bryan and his team
perform to that level?
1355
01:02:40,552 --> 01:02:42,804
He felt a loyalty with Bryan,
1356
01:02:44,764 --> 01:02:46,558
and quite honestly,
1357
01:02:46,558 --> 01:02:48,893
what did he have
to lose at that point?
1358
01:02:49,602 --> 01:02:52,313
Dan was like,
"Yeah, let's do it."
1359
01:02:53,064 --> 01:02:56,401
[Bryan] We'd formed a technical
alliance with Sam Schmidt.
1360
01:02:57,736 --> 01:02:59,029
We rented a car from them.
1361
01:02:59,029 --> 01:03:00,864
It wasn't their best car.
1362
01:03:00,864 --> 01:03:02,073
It wasn't their
second-best car.
1363
01:03:02,073 --> 01:03:03,992
It wasn't their third-best car.
1364
01:03:03,992 --> 01:03:07,328
I know for sure it was one of
the oldest in the field.
1365
01:03:07,328 --> 01:03:09,122
Let's go see Daddy's car.
1366
01:03:10,582 --> 01:03:12,500
But you have to be
really gentle.
1367
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:13,835
[Oliver] Wait, can I?
1368
01:03:13,835 --> 01:03:15,920
- Am I allowed?
- Mm-hmm.
1369
01:03:18,590 --> 01:03:20,008
[somber music playing]
1370
01:03:20,008 --> 01:03:22,594
[Sam] One of the reasons
we partnered with Bryan
1371
01:03:22,594 --> 01:03:24,471
is because we knew
Dan would be driving,
1372
01:03:24,471 --> 01:03:27,265
and you either love this place
or you're intimidated by it.
1373
01:03:27,265 --> 01:03:29,601
And I think he's
one of the guys that loved it.
1374
01:03:30,393 --> 01:03:32,312
[Susie] Can you even reach
the pedals?
1375
01:03:32,937 --> 01:03:35,482
I can touch the pedals
when I'm right here.
1376
01:03:35,940 --> 01:03:37,359
[Bryan] Because of
the importance
1377
01:03:37,359 --> 01:03:40,487
of the Indianapolis 500,
we spend more time preparing
1378
01:03:40,487 --> 01:03:41,946
there than any other race.
1379
01:03:41,946 --> 01:03:43,990
We're literally there
for almost a month.
1380
01:03:43,990 --> 01:03:46,701
Every day, even if there was
nothing going on on the track,
1381
01:03:46,701 --> 01:03:49,245
he'd come in the garage,
he'd sit in the car.
1382
01:03:49,245 --> 01:03:51,998
Have the guys just adjust
the mirror a little bit.
1383
01:03:51,998 --> 01:03:53,958
Trim this a little bit here.
1384
01:03:53,958 --> 01:03:55,877
"Can we find a little bit
of speed here?
1385
01:03:55,877 --> 01:03:57,712
Can we tighten up
the body fit here?
1386
01:03:57,712 --> 01:03:59,047
Can we adjust this mirror?"
1387
01:03:59,047 --> 01:04:00,799
His attention to detail,
1388
01:04:00,799 --> 01:04:02,676
it was incredibly motivating.
1389
01:04:02,676 --> 01:04:04,427
We didn't wanna let him down.
1390
01:04:06,179 --> 01:04:08,640
Dan Wheldon, the father of two,
1391
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:09,849
ready to compete
at Indianapolis.
1392
01:04:09,849 --> 01:04:11,059
Thanks for joining us.
1393
01:04:11,059 --> 01:04:12,811
I'm sure my sons
are gonna win
1394
01:04:12,811 --> 01:04:13,937
many more races
than me.
1395
01:04:13,937 --> 01:04:15,980
So, hopefully
it's Indianapolis.
1396
01:04:17,816 --> 01:04:20,318
[Bryan] I'm walking all over.
Didn't know where you guys were.
1397
01:04:20,318 --> 01:04:22,487
- [Susie] Trying to find you.
- Good to see you.
1398
01:04:25,156 --> 01:04:26,991
Here's what you might not know.
1399
01:04:26,991 --> 01:04:29,661
We were a small team,
but your dad would show up
1400
01:04:29,661 --> 01:04:31,204
every day at the track.
1401
01:04:31,204 --> 01:04:33,498
He'd tell us we're gonna win.
He really believed.
1402
01:04:33,498 --> 01:04:35,041
And he believed it so much,
1403
01:04:35,041 --> 01:04:36,418
that he made us start
to believe it,
1404
01:04:36,418 --> 01:04:38,670
'cause we didn't really
believe it at first.
1405
01:04:38,670 --> 01:04:40,046
And he made us believe it.
1406
01:04:40,046 --> 01:04:42,507
And then he made us not
wanna let him down.
1407
01:04:43,008 --> 01:04:44,634
[man] Dan was always
my favorite driver
1408
01:04:44,634 --> 01:04:45,760
when I was your guys' age.
1409
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,887
Dan was a huge
inspiration for me
1410
01:04:47,887 --> 01:04:49,180
in getting to IndyCars.
1411
01:04:49,180 --> 01:04:51,891
Same with me.
I was able to take the 26
1412
01:04:51,891 --> 01:04:53,977
right when he went to Ganassi.
I went into that--
1413
01:04:53,977 --> 01:04:57,147
into his seat.
So, big shoes to fill for sure.
1414
01:04:57,147 --> 01:05:00,942
I think you have to be born
with some sort of, um, skill
1415
01:05:00,942 --> 01:05:02,360
that was passed down.
1416
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,196
And then it's what you
do with it, how you mold it.
1417
01:05:05,989 --> 01:05:08,116
[Tony] We were happy
Dan was in the race,
1418
01:05:08,116 --> 01:05:09,993
but he was the underdog.
1419
01:05:09,993 --> 01:05:13,246
I mean, such a long shot.
1420
01:05:14,164 --> 01:05:15,790
[Dario] Pretty early
in the month,
1421
01:05:15,790 --> 01:05:17,125
we're all...
"What's going on?
1422
01:05:17,125 --> 01:05:18,710
How are they looking here?"
1423
01:05:18,710 --> 01:05:21,504
[announcer 1] And the next out,
Bryan Herta Racing.
1424
01:05:22,130 --> 01:05:24,341
[announcer 2 ] He's trying to
wring everything he can out,
1425
01:05:24,341 --> 01:05:26,468
and that's what Dan Wheldon
is so good at.
1426
01:05:26,468 --> 01:05:29,637
I just don't think we ever
didn't get better.
1427
01:05:29,637 --> 01:05:33,808
[announcer 2] Pick up some pace,
about 228.7 for Dan Wheldon.
1428
01:05:33,808 --> 01:05:35,602
It was like, okay.
1429
01:05:35,602 --> 01:05:37,145
Okay, this isn't too bad.
1430
01:05:37,145 --> 01:05:39,564
[solemn music playing]
1431
01:05:39,564 --> 01:05:41,107
[Dan] We've had a group that
1432
01:05:41,107 --> 01:05:43,735
has really brought the fun
back to racing for me.
1433
01:05:43,735 --> 01:05:45,862
[reporters laughing]
1434
01:05:46,446 --> 01:05:48,531
From my perspective,
I wanna come together
1435
01:05:48,531 --> 01:05:50,283
and just create a headline.
1436
01:05:54,162 --> 01:05:55,955
[Bryan] In the garage,
1437
01:05:55,955 --> 01:05:58,416
we had a little whiteboard
with a to-do list on it.
1438
01:05:58,416 --> 01:06:00,752
There's little boxes
and you'd check the box
1439
01:06:00,752 --> 01:06:02,504
after things were done.
1440
01:06:02,837 --> 01:06:04,214
The day before the race,
1441
01:06:04,214 --> 01:06:07,092
Dan looked at it and wrote
on the bottom,
1442
01:06:07,592 --> 01:06:09,260
"Win the Indy 500."
1443
01:06:09,594 --> 01:06:10,762
And, uh...
1444
01:06:12,931 --> 01:06:14,933
[voice breaks]
Now I'm gonna get emotional.
1445
01:06:14,933 --> 01:06:17,227
[soft music playing]
1446
01:06:18,353 --> 01:06:21,398
Oh, I kept it together
for so long. [clears throat]
1447
01:06:23,942 --> 01:06:25,318
[Tony] Before the 500,
1448
01:06:25,318 --> 01:06:29,197
the four of us went to
a very expensive steak house.
1449
01:06:30,407 --> 01:06:31,950
[Dario] There was a lot
of piss taking,
1450
01:06:31,950 --> 01:06:33,535
but then there was
a softer side.
1451
01:06:33,827 --> 01:06:36,538
It was more sort of, "Hey,
we've been through a lot."
1452
01:06:36,538 --> 01:06:38,873
And Dan was definitely more
thoughtful about
1453
01:06:38,873 --> 01:06:40,291
everything that happened.
1454
01:06:41,710 --> 01:06:46,631
It was a great moment where Dan
acknowledged what we--
1455
01:06:46,631 --> 01:06:48,049
that we had helped him.
1456
01:06:48,049 --> 01:06:51,428
Something he had never really
done in the past.
1457
01:06:52,554 --> 01:06:53,930
He said, "Hey, um...
1458
01:06:54,723 --> 01:06:56,933
thank you for everything
you guys have done for me.
1459
01:06:56,933 --> 01:06:58,518
I mean, I've learned a lot.
1460
01:06:58,977 --> 01:07:01,021
I'm a better person,"
and, uh...
1461
01:07:02,814 --> 01:07:04,816
that was our last dinner.
1462
01:07:07,318 --> 01:07:08,319
Sorry.
1463
01:07:09,237 --> 01:07:10,822
I promised I was not
gonna do that.
1464
01:07:10,822 --> 01:07:12,240
[exhales] Anyway...
1465
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,577
I have a picture of us.
We took a picture.
1466
01:07:16,036 --> 01:07:17,328
I still have it.
1467
01:07:17,328 --> 01:07:18,955
We all do.
It's a bad picture
1468
01:07:18,955 --> 01:07:20,790
because we asked
somebody to take it.
1469
01:07:20,790 --> 01:07:22,625
It was on the inside
of a restaurant
1470
01:07:22,625 --> 01:07:24,461
with my phone
with no flash.
1471
01:07:25,003 --> 01:07:27,297
[soft music continues]
1472
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:32,260
[Dario] It was like, we've
been through a lot together
1473
01:07:32,260 --> 01:07:35,388
and it's cool that we're here
and we're still pals.
1474
01:07:35,388 --> 01:07:36,681
[sniffles]
1475
01:07:38,475 --> 01:07:40,060
[laughter]
1476
01:07:41,311 --> 01:07:44,064
- Oof! [groans]
- It's gonna be crazy today.
1477
01:07:44,064 --> 01:07:45,857
There's gonna be a lot
of people around
1478
01:07:45,857 --> 01:07:48,109
- and people that are gonna--
- 'Cause it's the Indy 500.
1479
01:07:48,109 --> 01:07:50,195
Yeah. But do you know why else?
1480
01:07:50,570 --> 01:07:52,822
It's been ten years
since Dad died?
1481
01:07:53,907 --> 01:07:56,117
You were just little.
You were a baby.
1482
01:07:56,117 --> 01:07:59,704
[soft, dramatic music playing]
1483
01:08:03,750 --> 01:08:07,504
[Susie] In 2011, I was
at the hotel with the boys.
1484
01:08:07,504 --> 01:08:10,215
I was just telling Oliver
that it's gonna be, like,
1485
01:08:10,215 --> 01:08:11,675
really busy this weekend,
1486
01:08:11,675 --> 01:08:14,010
and there's probably gonna
be cameras and stuff,
1487
01:08:14,010 --> 01:08:16,638
- 'cause it's a special year.
- Yeah.
1488
01:08:16,638 --> 01:08:20,308
[Susie] We got a police
escort to the track.
1489
01:08:21,393 --> 01:08:22,977
- I'm good. How are you?
- You are?
1490
01:08:22,977 --> 01:08:24,604
Yeah, not bad.
Hanging in there.
1491
01:08:24,604 --> 01:08:26,648
- Good luck today.
- Good to see you.
1492
01:08:27,774 --> 01:08:30,402
[Susie] I wasn't there
on track with him
1493
01:08:30,402 --> 01:08:32,320
like I normally would be.
1494
01:08:34,322 --> 01:08:35,699
[Dan] Where's Susie?
1495
01:08:36,074 --> 01:08:38,702
[Susie] I was off with the boys
somewhere.
1496
01:08:39,494 --> 01:08:43,415
And I really did miss
having a role at the track.
1497
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,793
Now I'm here just to watch.
1498
01:08:46,793 --> 01:08:49,087
[announcer] This is the 10th
anniversary of Dan Wheldon.
1499
01:08:49,087 --> 01:08:50,505
The Wheldon legacy
carries on...
1500
01:08:50,505 --> 01:08:51,715
Oh, hi!
1501
01:08:52,257 --> 01:08:54,259
[Susie] There's a lot of
pomp and circumstance
1502
01:08:54,259 --> 01:08:56,011
with the Indy 500.
1503
01:08:56,011 --> 01:08:57,387
[announcer]
Susie Wheldon and the boys,
1504
01:08:57,387 --> 01:09:00,098
Sebastian, age 12,
Oliver, age 10.
1505
01:09:00,598 --> 01:09:03,435
They love this sport.
You can see it in their eyes.
1506
01:09:03,935 --> 01:09:06,438
Dan died doing what he loved,
1507
01:09:06,438 --> 01:09:09,733
and now those boys are showing
that same passion
1508
01:09:09,733 --> 01:09:11,860
that Dan had for racing,
1509
01:09:11,860 --> 01:09:13,653
and Mom can feel that.
1510
01:09:13,653 --> 01:09:15,238
[dramatic music playing]
1511
01:09:15,238 --> 01:09:17,282
- [both singing]
- [rifles cocking]
1512
01:09:17,949 --> 01:09:19,743
[trumpet playing]
1513
01:09:20,452 --> 01:09:21,911
- [crowd cheering]
- [fireworks booming]
1514
01:09:21,911 --> 01:09:24,831
[arena announcer] Ladies
and gentlemen, Dan Wheldon.
1515
01:09:24,831 --> 01:09:26,416
[crowd cheering]
1516
01:09:26,416 --> 01:09:28,209
[Susie]
He had something to prove.
1517
01:09:28,209 --> 01:09:31,421
Like, "I might not be here
full-time with you guys,
1518
01:09:31,421 --> 01:09:34,632
but by no means am I done."
1519
01:09:36,718 --> 01:09:38,011
[jet engines roaring]
1520
01:09:38,011 --> 01:09:40,388
[crowd cheering]
1521
01:09:41,473 --> 01:09:43,391
[dramatic music playing]
1522
01:09:43,391 --> 01:09:46,644
[man on PA]
Drivers, start your engines.
1523
01:09:46,644 --> 01:09:48,813
It's gonna get loud
on the start.
1524
01:09:48,813 --> 01:09:50,273
I love it.
1525
01:09:50,857 --> 01:09:52,942
[man] And the green flag waves.
1526
01:09:52,942 --> 01:09:54,986
[engines roaring]
1527
01:09:57,739 --> 01:09:59,449
[Bryan] From the drop
of the green flag,
1528
01:09:59,449 --> 01:10:01,368
Dan was right in the mix.
1529
01:10:01,826 --> 01:10:02,827
He was locked in.
1530
01:10:06,498 --> 01:10:09,167
[announcer]
It is Dixon, Servià, Tagliani.
1531
01:10:09,167 --> 01:10:11,544
Wheldon has got his foot
on the peg right now
1532
01:10:11,544 --> 01:10:13,380
trying to make up some time.
1533
01:10:13,380 --> 01:10:16,549
You just watch him methodically
moving forward.
1534
01:10:17,717 --> 01:10:19,719
Which is the biggest thing
you want to do in these
1535
01:10:19,719 --> 01:10:21,179
500-mile races.
1536
01:10:21,971 --> 01:10:24,683
We were racing most closely
with the Ganassi cars.
1537
01:10:25,183 --> 01:10:29,229
[announcer] Last year's winner,
the 10 car of Dario Franchitti.
1538
01:10:29,229 --> 01:10:30,689
Number 9 with Scott Dixon.
1539
01:10:30,689 --> 01:10:33,441
He is the favorite
in the field today.
1540
01:10:34,693 --> 01:10:37,112
[Bryan] They were able to go
a lap or two longer
1541
01:10:37,112 --> 01:10:39,197
on every tank of fuel
that we could.
1542
01:10:39,197 --> 01:10:41,658
And so I knew
that if it turned into
1543
01:10:41,658 --> 01:10:43,535
a fuel economy race
at the end,
1544
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,121
we weren't gonna beat them
at that game.
1545
01:10:46,705 --> 01:10:48,790
[announcer 1] Yellow flag
on the racetrack
1546
01:10:48,790 --> 01:10:50,375
and a two-car crash.
1547
01:10:51,209 --> 01:10:52,752
[Bryan] There was a caution,
1548
01:10:53,878 --> 01:10:55,547
and the leaders all pitted.
1549
01:10:55,547 --> 01:10:58,216
[announcer 1] Dario Franchitti
has pulled in .
1550
01:10:58,216 --> 01:10:59,843
[whirring]
1551
01:10:59,843 --> 01:11:01,970
[announcer 2] They're gonna
fill it as full as they can.
1552
01:11:01,970 --> 01:11:05,432
[announcer 1] They're trying
to make this in this last stop.
1553
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,227
[Bryan] And I've got
a decision to make.
1554
01:11:09,644 --> 01:11:11,730
Either we pit with the leaders
1555
01:11:11,730 --> 01:11:15,066
and try and bring home
a solid top-five finish,
1556
01:11:15,066 --> 01:11:17,318
or we risk it all...
1557
01:11:18,111 --> 01:11:19,571
and go for a win.
1558
01:11:21,072 --> 01:11:22,615
And we stayed out.
1559
01:11:23,033 --> 01:11:25,160
[announcer 2] Dan Wheldon's
saying, "This is the 500,
1560
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:26,828
I'm not gonna give it up."
1561
01:11:28,913 --> 01:11:32,042
[Bryan] We made our pit stop
a little bit later,
1562
01:11:32,042 --> 01:11:33,877
where we didn't
have to save fuel.
1563
01:11:34,252 --> 01:11:35,920
[engine revving]
1564
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,090
And we were running hard
at the end of that race,
1565
01:11:39,090 --> 01:11:40,717
chasing everybody down.
1566
01:11:40,717 --> 01:11:42,761
[engines revving]
1567
01:11:46,598 --> 01:11:48,016
[announcer 1]
There is Scott Dixon.
1568
01:11:48,016 --> 01:11:50,977
He is out in front and
the laps are winding down.
1569
01:11:50,977 --> 01:11:54,147
[Scott] I had what we thought
was a winning situation,
1570
01:11:54,147 --> 01:11:58,693
and we calculated wrong on fuel,
so then had to slow down.
1571
01:12:01,780 --> 01:12:04,366
[announcer 1] Guess who's now
cycled through to second place?
1572
01:12:04,366 --> 01:12:07,660
The 10 car of Dario Franchitti.
1573
01:12:07,660 --> 01:12:09,454
But it's gonna be
very tight on fuel.
1574
01:12:09,454 --> 01:12:10,955
I was in the fight.
1575
01:12:11,790 --> 01:12:14,417
[announcer 1] Dario's pace
has really dropped off.
1576
01:12:14,417 --> 01:12:16,628
But we did the fuel stop
too far away
1577
01:12:16,628 --> 01:12:17,962
to get to the finish.
Was like, ugh!
1578
01:12:17,962 --> 01:12:19,881
[announcer 1]
The last lap for Franchitti.
1579
01:12:19,881 --> 01:12:21,508
208. Uh-huh.
1580
01:12:21,508 --> 01:12:24,886
Full fuel conservation mode.
1581
01:12:24,886 --> 01:12:28,223
And what it's allowing is
J. R. Hildebrand to close.
1582
01:12:28,223 --> 01:12:29,891
[announcer 2]
Driving for Panther.
1583
01:12:31,810 --> 01:12:33,520
[Susie] The team that Dan
had driven for
1584
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,314
for the last two years,
now they're leading the race
1585
01:12:36,314 --> 01:12:38,817
with two laps to go,
and it's like...
1586
01:12:38,817 --> 01:12:41,486
okay. [sighs]
1587
01:12:41,486 --> 01:12:43,947
[announcer 1]
Here comes J. R. Hildebrand.
1588
01:12:43,947 --> 01:12:46,491
[man on radio] Bring it home,
baby. Bring it home.
1589
01:12:46,491 --> 01:12:48,952
Dan's pretty far back.
1590
01:12:49,869 --> 01:12:52,914
[Bryan] Dan got up to fourth,
and I was thinking,
1591
01:12:52,914 --> 01:12:55,834
this would be incredible
if we could finish fourth.
1592
01:12:56,334 --> 01:12:57,627
And then he passed again.
1593
01:12:57,627 --> 01:12:59,212
[announcer 1]
Wheldon able to run fast
1594
01:12:59,212 --> 01:13:01,006
at the very end of the race.
1595
01:13:01,006 --> 01:13:03,425
And as we're running second...
1596
01:13:03,425 --> 01:13:06,177
[announcer 1]
The white flag is in hand.
1597
01:13:06,594 --> 01:13:08,513
Through the final two corners.
1598
01:13:08,513 --> 01:13:11,558
Dan Wheldon's chances
look like they have faded.
1599
01:13:11,558 --> 01:13:13,226
[Sam] He's a quarter
of a lap behind.
1600
01:13:13,226 --> 01:13:15,353
I was like, damn, so close.
1601
01:13:15,770 --> 01:13:19,024
[announcer 1] How fitting for
the National Guard car to win.
1602
01:13:19,441 --> 01:13:21,359
Listen to the crowd
cheer him on.
1603
01:13:21,359 --> 01:13:23,028
[crowd cheering]
1604
01:13:23,028 --> 01:13:26,698
Half a lap to go and
he's the Indy 500 champion.
1605
01:13:27,073 --> 01:13:28,700
And then it wasn't so close.
1606
01:13:28,700 --> 01:13:30,493
[announcer 1] He's gotta
get around the traffic.
1607
01:13:30,493 --> 01:13:32,037
J. R. Hildebrand.
1608
01:13:32,037 --> 01:13:33,371
- No!
- [announcers clamor]
1609
01:13:33,371 --> 01:13:34,789
He hit the wall!
1610
01:13:34,789 --> 01:13:36,207
[tires screeching]
1611
01:13:37,459 --> 01:13:39,085
Is this really even happening?
1612
01:13:39,085 --> 01:13:42,714
It's almost like in slow motion
how everything happens.
1613
01:13:42,714 --> 01:13:45,050
[dramatic string music builds]
1614
01:13:45,050 --> 01:13:47,594
[muffled crowd reaction]
1615
01:13:48,053 --> 01:13:49,637
[gasping]
1616
01:13:55,185 --> 01:13:59,064
[string music swells]
1617
01:14:01,274 --> 01:14:04,444
[announcer 1] Dan Wheldon
is going to win the race!
1618
01:14:08,573 --> 01:14:10,200
Wait a sec, did he get it?
1619
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,244
- Yeah!
- [squeals] Oh, my God!
1620
01:14:13,244 --> 01:14:16,247
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
1621
01:14:16,748 --> 01:14:19,167
I can remember hearing
him on the radio say...
1622
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,005
[announcer 1]
That is unbelievable.
1623
01:14:24,422 --> 01:14:26,091
Oh, my God.
1624
01:14:26,466 --> 01:14:27,676
Oh, my God!
1625
01:14:28,176 --> 01:14:32,597
[announcer 1] Wheldon wins when
J. R. Hildebrand hits the wall.
1626
01:14:32,597 --> 01:14:34,224
[announcer 2] One of the most
stunning finishes
1627
01:14:34,224 --> 01:14:37,268
in not just Indy 500 history,
but sports history.
1628
01:14:38,269 --> 01:14:41,564
[Bryan] It was too much
to believe for any of us.
1629
01:14:42,107 --> 01:14:46,069
Pandemonium and jumping around
and screaming and yelling...
1630
01:14:46,778 --> 01:14:50,907
It was just the most
incredible emotion
1631
01:14:51,282 --> 01:14:54,452
that I've ever really
experienced after a race.
1632
01:14:54,786 --> 01:14:56,579
[Bryan] We just won
the Indy 500.
1633
01:14:56,955 --> 01:14:58,623
Can you believe that?
I can't--
1634
01:14:58,623 --> 01:15:00,834
I mean, you know,
we came here to win,
1635
01:15:00,834 --> 01:15:02,836
and we kept saying
we're here to win, but...
1636
01:15:02,836 --> 01:15:04,462
we actually won!
1637
01:15:05,255 --> 01:15:08,591
[announcer 1] Dan Wheldon
now approaching Victory Lane.
1638
01:15:09,634 --> 01:15:12,637
I'm like, "Okay. I need to go
get to Victory Lane."
1639
01:15:12,637 --> 01:15:15,515
So, I'm running to...
to see him.
1640
01:15:15,515 --> 01:15:17,308
[crowd cheering]
1641
01:15:18,143 --> 01:15:20,645
[announcer 1] Look at Dan.
The emotion.
1642
01:15:21,271 --> 01:15:23,773
[dramatic music playing]
1643
01:15:24,691 --> 01:15:26,192
You see his wife, Susie.
1644
01:15:27,819 --> 01:15:29,529
[Susie] I just put my face
in the cockpit
1645
01:15:29,529 --> 01:15:31,614
and told him I loved him.
1646
01:15:36,494 --> 01:15:39,164
[voice breaking]
It was a special moment.
1647
01:15:39,539 --> 01:15:42,083
[crowd cheering]
1648
01:15:51,384 --> 01:15:53,011
It's just an incredible day.
1649
01:15:53,553 --> 01:15:54,971
[interviewer] Congratulations.
1650
01:15:54,971 --> 01:15:58,683
Dan Wheldon, the winner
of the centennial anniversary
1651
01:15:58,683 --> 01:16:00,310
Indianapolis 500.
1652
01:16:00,310 --> 01:16:01,811
Taking my kids to Disney, baby.
1653
01:16:01,811 --> 01:16:03,897
I'm taking my kids to Disney.
1654
01:16:03,897 --> 01:16:05,899
[crowd cheering]
1655
01:16:07,442 --> 01:16:09,319
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
1656
01:16:09,778 --> 01:16:11,571
Go see everybody.
1657
01:16:11,905 --> 01:16:13,031
Whoo!
1658
01:16:13,365 --> 01:16:15,700
[crowd cheering]
1659
01:16:29,047 --> 01:16:31,049
[Dan] You know, I doubted
myself a little bit.
1660
01:16:31,049 --> 01:16:32,759
I think there's times
when you do.
1661
01:16:32,759 --> 01:16:34,719
[dramatic music continues]
1662
01:16:36,846 --> 01:16:38,973
You know, my wife
has stuck by me.
1663
01:16:38,973 --> 01:16:40,809
She's always given me
that inspiration
1664
01:16:40,809 --> 01:16:43,603
and the belief that
I'm the best out there.
1665
01:16:45,689 --> 01:16:48,149
[crowd cheering]
1666
01:16:55,824 --> 01:16:58,993
[Bryan] After Dan won the race
and he came back to the garage,
1667
01:16:58,993 --> 01:17:01,746
the first thing he did is he
walked over to that whiteboard
1668
01:17:01,746 --> 01:17:04,833
and put a checkmark
right on that box.
1669
01:17:06,209 --> 01:17:07,919
[music fades]
1670
01:17:10,255 --> 01:17:11,673
[Susie] Really long day.
1671
01:17:15,593 --> 01:17:16,636
Okay.
1672
01:17:16,636 --> 01:17:17,846
It's bedtime for you, Mom.
1673
01:17:17,846 --> 01:17:20,640
I know.
Let's all settle down now, okay?
1674
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:22,809
- Could I have a hug?
- Yeah.
1675
01:17:22,809 --> 01:17:24,769
- You have to come to me.
- You come to me.
1676
01:17:25,895 --> 01:17:27,897
This is what your dad
and I used to do.
1677
01:17:27,897 --> 01:17:30,191
Okay. I'm gonna squeeze you
as much as I love you.
1678
01:17:30,191 --> 01:17:33,028
Ready? One, two, three.
1679
01:17:33,319 --> 01:17:36,072
[Susie strains, exhales]
1680
01:17:36,072 --> 01:17:38,408
And he used to grab me so hard
and I couldn't breathe.
1681
01:17:38,408 --> 01:17:39,784
I thought he was gonna
break my ribs.
1682
01:17:39,784 --> 01:17:42,120
[laughs, exclaims]
1683
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:43,580
Oliver, oh, my God!
1684
01:17:43,580 --> 01:17:46,166
Oh, I think you might have
done something.
1685
01:17:46,166 --> 01:17:49,502
Three, two, one.
1686
01:17:49,502 --> 01:17:51,421
Okay, okay! [gasps]
1687
01:17:51,421 --> 01:17:53,256
- What have I done?
- [boys laughing]
1688
01:17:53,256 --> 01:17:54,716
You raised us wrong!
1689
01:17:54,716 --> 01:17:56,885
[gentle music playing]
1690
01:17:58,428 --> 01:18:01,431
[boys laughing]
1691
01:18:06,644 --> 01:18:07,979
[music fades]
1692
01:18:14,361 --> 01:18:16,738
[go-kart engines revving]
1693
01:18:16,738 --> 01:18:19,157
[gentle music playing]
1694
01:18:31,753 --> 01:18:33,338
[engines revving]
1695
01:18:38,093 --> 01:18:39,678
[announcer]
Wheldon down the bottom.
1696
01:18:39,678 --> 01:18:41,596
Oliver Wheldon to the lead.
1697
01:18:42,013 --> 01:18:43,848
He's having a great run.
1698
01:18:48,353 --> 01:18:50,063
[tires screeching]
1699
01:18:50,063 --> 01:18:52,190
Sebastian Wheldon
has had a great drive.
1700
01:18:52,190 --> 01:18:55,026
It's been super impressive
to watch here today.
1701
01:18:55,026 --> 01:18:56,194
[crowd cheering]
1702
01:18:59,155 --> 01:19:01,366
- [Leo] It's about time.
- [Susie] Yeah.
1703
01:19:03,952 --> 01:19:06,121
[Sam] Winning the Indy 500
was a launching pad
1704
01:19:06,121 --> 01:19:08,748
for Dan to re-energize
his career.
1705
01:19:08,748 --> 01:19:10,834
He was like, "Okay, now
I've got myself another
1706
01:19:10,834 --> 01:19:13,962
five to ten years in the sport
because of this victory."
1707
01:19:13,962 --> 01:19:15,505
But in the world
of motorsports,
1708
01:19:15,505 --> 01:19:18,967
if you want to win one race,
that's the Indianapolis 500.
1709
01:19:18,967 --> 01:19:21,386
This kid coming out here
has won it twice.
1710
01:19:21,386 --> 01:19:23,596
[audience cheering]
1711
01:19:24,264 --> 01:19:26,349
When will you go back to racing
full-time now?
1712
01:19:26,349 --> 01:19:28,893
It's nice that you come
out of retirement once a year
1713
01:19:28,893 --> 01:19:30,729
to win the Indianapolis 500,
1714
01:19:30,729 --> 01:19:32,897
but when will you have
a regular series ride?
1715
01:19:32,897 --> 01:19:35,233
Well, we're working on that
with Bryan Herta.
1716
01:19:35,233 --> 01:19:38,319
And, you know, there has
been some interest.
1717
01:19:38,945 --> 01:19:40,405
[Susie] At the time,
Randy Bernard
1718
01:19:40,405 --> 01:19:42,198
was the president of IndyCar.
1719
01:19:42,198 --> 01:19:45,660
He had a professional
bull riding background.
1720
01:19:45,660 --> 01:19:46,870
[crowd cheering]
1721
01:19:46,870 --> 01:19:48,705
[Sam] Randy came in
with a mission
1722
01:19:48,705 --> 01:19:51,583
to raise the image
of IndyCar,
1723
01:19:51,583 --> 01:19:53,710
to put more butts
in the seats,
1724
01:19:53,710 --> 01:19:55,587
put more eyeballs
on the screens,
1725
01:19:55,587 --> 01:19:57,047
and he's a promoter by nature.
1726
01:19:57,047 --> 01:19:58,506
We're reaching out to our fans
1727
01:19:58,506 --> 01:20:01,343
each and every way we can,
and that's why we did--
1728
01:20:01,343 --> 01:20:04,012
if you buy a ticket to any
IndyCar Series race,
1729
01:20:04,012 --> 01:20:05,597
you get a free ticket
to the world--
1730
01:20:05,597 --> 01:20:07,390
the IndyCar world
championships.
1731
01:20:08,016 --> 01:20:10,518
[Sam] He was moving
the season finale to Vegas.
1732
01:20:11,269 --> 01:20:13,938
I think he was trying
anything creatively
1733
01:20:13,938 --> 01:20:15,607
to accomplish those goals.
1734
01:20:15,607 --> 01:20:17,692
[somber music playing]
1735
01:20:17,692 --> 01:20:21,279
[man] With some exciting news
about the world championship
1736
01:20:21,279 --> 01:20:22,572
in Las Vegas,
1737
01:20:22,572 --> 01:20:25,200
here is IndyCar CEO,
Randy Bernard.
1738
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,869
The IZOD IndyCar Series
and GoDaddy
1739
01:20:27,869 --> 01:20:29,329
are very proud to announce
1740
01:20:29,329 --> 01:20:31,206
that we will give
a $5 million challenge
1741
01:20:31,206 --> 01:20:33,375
to our Indy 500 winner,
Dan Wheldon.
1742
01:20:33,375 --> 01:20:35,794
Now, Dan, there's a couple
parameters for you.
1743
01:20:35,794 --> 01:20:37,003
[Dan chuckles]
1744
01:20:37,420 --> 01:20:40,965
You have to start very last
of this 30-plus car field,
1745
01:20:41,549 --> 01:20:43,593
and you have to win the race.
1746
01:20:43,968 --> 01:20:45,303
[Bryan] Randy had this idea
1747
01:20:45,303 --> 01:20:48,723
that if Dan could come
from last to first,
1748
01:20:48,723 --> 01:20:51,267
he and a fan would
win $5 million,
1749
01:20:51,267 --> 01:20:53,395
and it sounded like
a great idea.
1750
01:20:53,395 --> 01:20:58,191
I feel at Vegas I'll be able to
compete for the win.
1751
01:20:58,191 --> 01:20:59,484
Absolutely.
1752
01:21:05,949 --> 01:21:08,076
[Leo] So, what's up, guys?
1753
01:21:10,578 --> 01:21:13,081
Next month we got a big race.
1754
01:21:13,081 --> 01:21:16,167
This is like an Indy 500
for go-karts.
1755
01:21:16,167 --> 01:21:17,544
Nice.
1756
01:21:17,919 --> 01:21:19,546
It says new venue.
1757
01:21:20,588 --> 01:21:23,591
I'm done with language,
and I'm done with history.
1758
01:21:24,509 --> 01:21:26,511
So you have math and science?
1759
01:21:26,511 --> 01:21:27,595
Wait.
1760
01:21:29,556 --> 01:21:30,557
[Susie] What?
1761
01:21:31,349 --> 01:21:34,185
The race is gonna be
at Las Vegas Speedway.
1762
01:21:34,894 --> 01:21:36,354
[Oliver gasps] Oh.
1763
01:21:37,605 --> 01:21:39,441
Oh. Oh, that's...
1764
01:21:39,941 --> 01:21:42,193
- [Susie] What are they saying?
- This?
1765
01:21:48,408 --> 01:21:50,577
You know what
that means then, right?
1766
01:21:53,538 --> 01:21:55,290
What a coincidence.
1767
01:21:56,416 --> 01:21:58,710
Is it a-- is that what a
coincidence is?
1768
01:21:58,710 --> 01:22:01,087
[Susie]
Well, it's unexpected, for sure.
1769
01:22:01,087 --> 01:22:03,423
Do I have to, though,
if I didn't want to?
1770
01:22:04,507 --> 01:22:05,675
I wanna go.
1771
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,512
I think you should ask yourself
how you feel about it.
1772
01:22:09,512 --> 01:22:12,223
There's a lot attached to that,
and I just want to make sure
1773
01:22:12,223 --> 01:22:13,600
you guys are okay with that.
1774
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:14,851
I'm okay with that.
1775
01:22:14,851 --> 01:22:16,978
Nothing to say, huh?
1776
01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:20,023
[Sebastian] No, not really.
1777
01:22:20,732 --> 01:22:22,442
Just like any other race.
1778
01:22:24,110 --> 01:22:26,112
[Susie] It's at the Speedway.
1779
01:22:29,407 --> 01:22:31,368
[Michael] I thought it was
the dumbest thing.
1780
01:22:31,368 --> 01:22:34,412
Randy Bernard had no
experience at all in IndyCars.
1781
01:22:34,412 --> 01:22:36,664
There were some gimmicks
with having a fast car
1782
01:22:36,664 --> 01:22:37,874
like Dan in the back,
1783
01:22:37,874 --> 01:22:39,959
but it was more
the racetrack itself.
1784
01:22:39,959 --> 01:22:41,503
It was very wide,
1785
01:22:41,503 --> 01:22:44,673
so it was gonna
lend itself to three, four,
1786
01:22:45,048 --> 01:22:47,967
maybe even five abreast
racing through the corners.
1787
01:22:47,967 --> 01:22:51,388
And when you have
that many lines of cars going,
1788
01:22:51,388 --> 01:22:53,098
eventually somebody's
gonna misjudge.
1789
01:22:53,098 --> 01:22:55,225
[uneasy music playing]
1790
01:22:59,020 --> 01:23:00,980
[Dario] I'd driven Vegas
in NASCAR,
1791
01:23:00,980 --> 01:23:03,274
and I just was telling them
1792
01:23:03,274 --> 01:23:05,610
it's not suitable
for an IndyCar.
1793
01:23:05,610 --> 01:23:07,028
It's just not suitable.
1794
01:23:07,028 --> 01:23:08,488
There's no margin for error.
1795
01:23:08,488 --> 01:23:10,949
Somebody zigs and the other one
zags at the same time,
1796
01:23:10,949 --> 01:23:13,451
you know, you have
a massive accident.
1797
01:23:13,952 --> 01:23:16,329
- She's probably scared.
- Mm-hmm.
1798
01:23:23,670 --> 01:23:25,255
[Sebastian] Do you feel sad?
1799
01:23:25,922 --> 01:23:27,507
- Yeah.
- Mom, give me a hug.
1800
01:23:27,507 --> 01:23:29,843
- It's fine.
- No. You need a hug, Mom.
1801
01:23:30,301 --> 01:23:33,471
It's fine. I just want you guys
to be okay, you know?
1802
01:23:37,350 --> 01:23:39,561
Mom, I'm gonna be okay,
all right?
1803
01:23:39,561 --> 01:23:41,479
[Susie sniffles]
1804
01:23:43,857 --> 01:23:46,026
[Michael]
This is a publicity stunt,
1805
01:23:46,026 --> 01:23:48,069
putting our drivers
in a dangerous situation.
1806
01:23:48,069 --> 01:23:50,030
It's up to the Series
to protect us.
1807
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,285
You know? And unfortunately,
this is what we're gonna do.
1808
01:23:55,994 --> 01:23:58,288
It was very frustrating,
1809
01:23:58,997 --> 01:24:01,541
but I didn't make it public.
1810
01:24:05,337 --> 01:24:07,422
I don't care who wins.
I don't care what happens.
1811
01:24:07,422 --> 01:24:10,008
Let's just get outta here,
you know, in one piece.
1812
01:24:10,008 --> 01:24:12,594
[sniffles] Um...
1813
01:24:13,553 --> 01:24:16,348
- [Sebastian] Love you, Mom.
- Yeah. I love you too.
1814
01:24:23,938 --> 01:24:27,525
[plane engine roaring]
1815
01:24:30,487 --> 01:24:33,490
- [dramatic music playing]
- [engines revving]
1816
01:24:34,574 --> 01:24:36,201
[announcer 1]
Getting a little race-y here.
1817
01:24:36,201 --> 01:24:37,619
[announcer 2] Wow.
1818
01:24:37,619 --> 01:24:39,996
[announcer 1] They go
three wide through four.
1819
01:24:39,996 --> 01:24:43,416
[man on radio]
1820
01:24:46,336 --> 01:24:47,671
[announcer 1]
That is James Jakes.
1821
01:24:47,671 --> 01:24:49,464
- [announcer 2] A big fire.
- That really is.
1822
01:24:49,464 --> 01:24:52,384
And he is already halfway
out of the car.
1823
01:24:52,384 --> 01:24:55,553
The car has come apart
as it made very hard contact.
1824
01:24:55,553 --> 01:24:58,640
The good news is James Jakes
is out of the car,
1825
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,058
and he looks to be okay.
1826
01:25:00,392 --> 01:25:01,726
[reporter] In terms of
practice,
1827
01:25:01,726 --> 01:25:03,728
it looked like cars
were going three wide.
1828
01:25:03,728 --> 01:25:06,564
Would you expect to see the
same thing in the race?
1829
01:25:07,065 --> 01:25:09,150
[driver]
No. I expect four wide.
1830
01:25:09,150 --> 01:25:14,155
I expect it to be really
hairy and, uh, dangerous.
1831
01:25:14,155 --> 01:25:16,449
Yeah. This is gonna be
one that fans will love
1832
01:25:16,449 --> 01:25:19,160
and the drivers will be
thankful when it's over.
1833
01:25:19,828 --> 01:25:21,246
I didn't want him to do it.
1834
01:25:21,705 --> 01:25:23,581
I spoke to him
on the Saturday night.
1835
01:25:23,998 --> 01:25:28,211
I said to him, "The last thing
you want in a race like that
1836
01:25:28,211 --> 01:25:30,880
is to be racing from the back.
1837
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:32,424
Don't do the race."
1838
01:25:32,757 --> 01:25:35,010
[tense music playing]
1839
01:25:35,802 --> 01:25:37,804
[Bryan] Dan wouldn't have
pulled out of that race.
1840
01:25:37,804 --> 01:25:40,974
It just wouldn't have been
in his character to do that.
1841
01:25:40,974 --> 01:25:42,600
If you're thinking
about going, go,
1842
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,437
'cause it's gonna be
the weekend of your life.
1843
01:25:47,272 --> 01:25:49,065
[Tony] That was the Lionheart.
1844
01:25:49,441 --> 01:25:51,443
He didn't walk away
from things.
1845
01:25:51,901 --> 01:25:53,153
But look...
1846
01:25:55,238 --> 01:25:58,575
we all know
the risks we take.
1847
01:25:58,575 --> 01:26:00,702
[crowd cheering]
1848
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:05,248
[car horns honking]
1849
01:26:11,546 --> 01:26:12,797
[Susie] The night before
the race,
1850
01:26:12,797 --> 01:26:15,467
Dan was like,
"Yeah, it's a bit crazy."
1851
01:26:18,762 --> 01:26:20,847
I hadn't seen him a lot
that weekend just because
1852
01:26:20,847 --> 01:26:23,516
I had both the kids,
and he was super busy
1853
01:26:23,516 --> 01:26:26,144
with appearances
and those kinds of things.
1854
01:26:26,144 --> 01:26:27,979
Oliver was
a little bit restless,
1855
01:26:27,979 --> 01:26:29,522
so I was gonna leave,
1856
01:26:29,522 --> 01:26:31,983
but Dan was like, "No,
I really want you to stay."
1857
01:26:31,983 --> 01:26:33,526
Mom, look at this ice cream.
1858
01:26:33,526 --> 01:26:36,613
[Susie] And I remember
seeing, like, a tattoo place.
1859
01:26:36,613 --> 01:26:38,615
[peaceful music playing]
1860
01:26:38,615 --> 01:26:39,991
[door bell jingles]
1861
01:26:43,995 --> 01:26:45,413
As we got closer,
he was like,
1862
01:26:45,413 --> 01:26:47,415
"What do you think
we should get?" I was like...
1863
01:26:47,415 --> 01:26:49,084
He hadn't had any tattoos.
1864
01:26:49,084 --> 01:26:50,502
I had had a couple already,
1865
01:26:50,502 --> 01:26:53,088
and he had talked about
wanting to do something.
1866
01:26:53,088 --> 01:26:54,214
Do we like this one?
1867
01:26:54,214 --> 01:26:56,675
Yes, Mom,
for the hundredth time.
1868
01:26:56,675 --> 01:26:59,219
[Susie] My gosh. Do I say that
when you're at the racetrack?
1869
01:26:59,219 --> 01:27:01,680
But I never thought
that he would do it.
1870
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,015
I'm like, "You're not gonna
get a tattoo."
1871
01:27:04,015 --> 01:27:05,975
He's like, "No, let's do this."
1872
01:27:09,187 --> 01:27:10,605
Let's do it.
1873
01:27:11,398 --> 01:27:12,857
And I'll hold your hand.
1874
01:27:13,233 --> 01:27:15,193
[Susie] Your dad held
my hand the whole time.
1875
01:27:15,193 --> 01:27:17,779
[tattoo machine buzzing]
1876
01:27:20,323 --> 01:27:21,991
He went first,
and then, of course,
1877
01:27:21,991 --> 01:27:23,368
I was like, "Okay, gotta go."
1878
01:27:23,368 --> 01:27:25,412
He was like,
"Absolutely not."
1879
01:27:26,037 --> 01:27:30,125
We both got a tattoo on our

[distant birds calling]
1882
01:27:51,563 --> 01:27:52,981
[announcer]
There's plenty on the line
1883
01:27:52,981 --> 01:27:56,234
in the Nevada desert today.
200 laps, 300 miles
1884
01:27:56,234 --> 01:27:58,737
at 220-plus miles an hour.
1885
01:27:58,737 --> 01:28:00,280
And what an incredible grid
we have.
1886
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,741
Dario Franchitti trying
to win a championship,
1887
01:28:02,741 --> 01:28:05,952
and we have Dan Wheldon
trying to get $5 million.
1888
01:28:05,952 --> 01:28:08,079
[arena announcer] Dan Wheldon!
1889
01:28:08,079 --> 01:28:10,123
[tense music playing]
1890
01:28:10,123 --> 01:28:11,374
I can't wait for the race.
1891
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:14,085
[Clive] I didn't get much sleep
'cause I was up all night.
1892
01:28:14,085 --> 01:28:17,964
I'd opened the French doors
and the TV was on on the wall,
1893
01:28:17,964 --> 01:28:21,051
and, um, I fell asleep outside.
1894
01:28:24,012 --> 01:28:27,098
[Susie] I made my way back
to meet him at the car.
1895
01:28:27,098 --> 01:28:29,476
[crowd cheering]
1896
01:28:29,476 --> 01:28:30,769
We both had our tattoos.
1897
01:28:30,769 --> 01:28:33,897
I was like, "Now I'm always
there with you."
1898
01:28:33,897 --> 01:28:36,566
[announcer] He's got a roulette
wheel painted on his helmet.
1899
01:28:36,566 --> 01:28:38,360
He's ready to roll the dice.
1900
01:28:38,735 --> 01:28:41,363
[Susie] I felt compelled
to let him know.
1901
01:28:42,781 --> 01:28:46,618
[arena announcer]
Are you ready?!
1902
01:28:46,618 --> 01:28:49,329
Drivers, start your engines.
1903
01:28:49,329 --> 01:28:53,083
- [engines revving loudly]
- [dramatic music playing]
1904
01:28:54,376 --> 01:28:56,002
[announcer]
And the 34th and final car
1905
01:28:56,002 --> 01:28:58,713
starting in this field
will be driven by Dan Wheldon.
1906
01:28:59,130 --> 01:29:02,133
Dan, you're up in the
ABC booth, do you have us?
1907
01:29:02,133 --> 01:29:03,843
[Dan] I've got you, Scott.
1908
01:29:03,843 --> 01:29:05,929
[Scott] Big question
everybody wants to know is
1909
01:29:05,929 --> 01:29:09,265
can you win and take home
the $5 million bonus?
1910
01:29:09,641 --> 01:29:11,476
[Dan] Honestly, Scott,
I wouldn't be doing this
1911
01:29:11,476 --> 01:29:13,687
if I didn't think
that I could win.
1912
01:29:13,687 --> 01:29:15,188
[Scott] And the speeds
we have here,
1913
01:29:15,188 --> 01:29:16,981
222 miles an hour.
1914
01:29:16,981 --> 01:29:19,192
I mean, just fantastic speeds
here today.
1915
01:29:19,192 --> 01:29:20,652
You expect that in the race?
1916
01:29:21,027 --> 01:29:23,822
[Dan] Absolutely.
They'll be a little bit faster,
1917
01:29:23,822 --> 01:29:25,740
but there's just gonna
be a spectacle.
1918
01:29:25,740 --> 01:29:27,867
This is a great way
to go out.
1919
01:29:29,619 --> 01:29:31,162
[announcer] And the final race
1920
01:29:31,162 --> 01:29:33,665
for the championship
is green.
1921
01:29:35,333 --> 01:29:38,503
[Dario] Things start to get
pretty interesting quickly.
1922
01:29:38,503 --> 01:29:41,047
[announcer 1] We're already
seeing three wide.
1923
01:29:43,133 --> 01:29:44,634
Guys touching...
1924
01:29:44,634 --> 01:29:48,179
[announcer 1] Oh, so close
and they are touching!
1925
01:29:49,681 --> 01:29:51,349
Tony Kanaan is leading,
1926
01:29:51,349 --> 01:29:53,184
but boy,
the action back behind him,
1927
01:29:53,184 --> 01:29:54,644
he doesn't know
what he's missing.
1928
01:29:55,020 --> 01:29:56,730
[announcer 2]
He does know what he's missing.
1929
01:29:56,730 --> 01:29:58,481
He's glad he's not
in the middle of it.
1930
01:29:58,481 --> 01:30:00,400
The only plan these drivers
have right now
1931
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,277
is to make sure they don't
make a mistake.
1932
01:30:02,277 --> 01:30:04,821
That's a big gnarly
mass of cars.
1933
01:30:07,866 --> 01:30:11,036
I distinctly remember
Dario and Scott
1934
01:30:11,036 --> 01:30:14,706
saying something
I'd never heard on the radio.
1935
01:30:14,706 --> 01:30:16,416
They both said,
1936
01:30:16,416 --> 01:30:18,501
"Hey, we're just gonna
ride here a little bit
1937
01:30:18,501 --> 01:30:20,253
and let some
things pan out."
1938
01:30:20,253 --> 01:30:22,422
I just remember thinking, hmm.
1939
01:30:22,422 --> 01:30:24,549
I never heard that before.
1940
01:30:26,551 --> 01:30:28,720
[Dario] There was a championship
on the line for me,
1941
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:30,221
but I was just so nervous.
1942
01:30:31,306 --> 01:30:32,557
[announcer]
Looking for Dan Wheldon.
1943
01:30:32,557 --> 01:30:34,392
Started 34th in this field.
1944
01:30:34,392 --> 01:30:36,561
He has moved up ten spots.
1945
01:30:37,937 --> 01:30:40,398
[Sam] That's when I got
on the radio and said, "Man,
1946
01:30:40,398 --> 01:30:43,985
uh, this is-- this is crazy,"
1947
01:30:44,819 --> 01:30:46,529
but I don't know
what you can do at that point
1948
01:30:46,529 --> 01:30:47,906
to get people to separate.
1949
01:30:51,159 --> 01:30:54,704
I was sitting in my timing stand
facing turn one and two.
1950
01:30:54,704 --> 01:30:57,791
And so, I saw
the initial contact.
1951
01:30:59,250 --> 01:31:00,919
[audio halts]
1952
01:31:01,711 --> 01:31:05,757
[Bryan] I honestly have a big
blank spot around that time.
1953
01:31:06,758 --> 01:31:10,178
I don't remember
the accident, um,
1954
01:31:10,178 --> 01:31:12,180
even though I've seen it.
I've seen video of it.
1955
01:31:12,180 --> 01:31:14,307
[announcer] My God!
There's been a huge collision.
1956
01:31:14,307 --> 01:31:16,351
I just don't...
1957
01:31:16,351 --> 01:31:18,353
[announcers clamoring]
1958
01:31:18,353 --> 01:31:20,438
Shuffle through.
Don't remember.
1959
01:31:20,438 --> 01:31:21,981
[announcer]
Multiple cars involved.
1960
01:31:21,981 --> 01:31:23,149
Even, uh...
1961
01:31:23,608 --> 01:31:26,861
for, like, several weeks after.
1962
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,116
I guess I'm lucky that I don't.
1963
01:31:33,159 --> 01:31:34,536
[announcer] Oh, my.
1964
01:31:35,745 --> 01:31:38,707
[ominous music playing]
1965
01:31:51,803 --> 01:31:55,807
[solemn choral music playing]
1966
01:32:02,939 --> 01:32:05,233
[Sam] It was like a bomb
went off.
1967
01:32:06,526 --> 01:32:08,236
Everything's exploded,
1968
01:32:08,778 --> 01:32:12,824
and it's just this mass
of chaos and debris.
1969
01:32:20,457 --> 01:32:22,751
[helicopter whirring]
1970
01:32:24,002 --> 01:32:26,087
[Scott] Normally, you then
cycle back around
1971
01:32:26,087 --> 01:32:27,797
until they pick up the debris
and the cars
1972
01:32:27,797 --> 01:32:29,257
and clear up the accident.
1973
01:32:30,258 --> 01:32:31,676
I remember the spotter saying,
1974
01:32:31,676 --> 01:32:33,803
"I don't know
where you should go."
1975
01:32:33,803 --> 01:32:35,764
It's like a plane has crashed.
1976
01:32:35,764 --> 01:32:38,433
There is so much debris,
there's nowhere to go.
1977
01:32:38,808 --> 01:32:43,146
Twelve or more cars were
just blown to pieces.
1978
01:32:43,897 --> 01:32:45,523
I've been in racing
for a very long time,
1979
01:32:45,523 --> 01:32:48,610
seen many accidents,
but nothing on this scale.
1980
01:32:48,610 --> 01:32:50,278
Just, it was so many.
1981
01:32:51,154 --> 01:32:53,239
[Tony] I didn't even know
which car was which
1982
01:32:53,239 --> 01:32:55,033
because there was
so much carnage.
1983
01:32:55,700 --> 01:32:59,162
[announcer] Fifteen cars
we now know of involved.
1984
01:32:59,704 --> 01:33:02,374
I was like, wow, this is--
this was bad.
1985
01:33:02,374 --> 01:33:04,209
[announcer]
You see E. J. Viso's car.
1986
01:33:04,209 --> 01:33:06,294
He is out of his machine.
1987
01:33:08,546 --> 01:33:09,881
There is Pippa Mann.
1988
01:33:09,881 --> 01:33:12,801
They are trying to get her
out of her car.
1989
01:33:13,510 --> 01:33:14,761
It's good to see her
able to walk
1990
01:33:14,761 --> 01:33:16,638
under her own power.
1991
01:33:18,890 --> 01:33:21,393
That is Dan Wheldon's machine.
1992
01:33:22,185 --> 01:33:24,729
I woke up,
and I'm looking at the TV.
1993
01:33:25,438 --> 01:33:27,857
All I heard them say,
"We hope Wheldon's all right,"
1994
01:33:27,857 --> 01:33:30,360
and I'm thinking, oh, my God,
he's had an accident.
1995
01:33:31,194 --> 01:33:33,530
And all's I could see,
this helicopter.
1996
01:33:33,530 --> 01:33:35,156
[announcer]
That's not a good sign.
1997
01:33:35,156 --> 01:33:39,202
We do not know who is inside
that helicopter at this moment.
1998
01:33:39,202 --> 01:33:43,373
[Dario] Then that horrible
rumor thing starts.
1999
01:33:43,373 --> 01:33:48,086
It's this guy, it's that guy,
it's so-and-so, it's Dan.
2000
01:33:52,257 --> 01:33:55,010
[reporter] IndyCar Series
official just confirmed to me
2001
01:33:55,010 --> 01:33:56,761
that it was indeed
Dan Wheldon
2002
01:33:56,761 --> 01:33:59,889
that was taken by air
to University Medical Center.
2003
01:34:01,891 --> 01:34:03,810
[Scott] And then you start
hearing trickles of stories.
2004
01:34:03,810 --> 01:34:06,062
That's the worst part.
"Oh, yeah. He was awake."
2005
01:34:06,062 --> 01:34:07,814
And you're like, okay,
that's good news.
2006
01:34:07,814 --> 01:34:09,983
And then you run into
somebody else,
2007
01:34:09,983 --> 01:34:13,319
and they're like,
"No, it's really not good."
2008
01:34:14,779 --> 01:34:18,324
So your emotions
are just... crazy.
2009
01:34:21,619 --> 01:34:23,246
[announcer] Dario Franchitti
can't celebrate
2010
01:34:23,246 --> 01:34:26,124
this championship right now.
Doesn't want to.
2011
01:34:33,089 --> 01:34:34,966
[Dario] I remember it
being quiet.
2012
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:39,471
Which, in my experience,
is the worst thing.
2013
01:34:39,471 --> 01:34:41,181
When it goes quiet,
2014
01:34:42,307 --> 01:34:45,143
you've got a big crowd,
and it's just quiet.
2015
01:34:48,813 --> 01:34:51,149
To be honest, from that
point on, I don't remember.
2016
01:34:51,149 --> 01:34:53,360
I don't remember anything.
I just, "Pfft."
2017
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:54,903
Shutters came down.
2018
01:35:01,034 --> 01:35:03,828
I went to the infield
care center,
2019
01:35:03,828 --> 01:35:08,541
and it was kind of...
chaotic from there.
2020
01:35:09,501 --> 01:35:12,045
It becomes clear that things
are a bit more serious
2021
01:35:12,045 --> 01:35:14,923
when everybody is kind of
cleared to go and all the,
2022
01:35:14,923 --> 01:35:18,551
you know, wives and girlfriends
are leaving,
2023
01:35:18,551 --> 01:35:21,012
and you're kind of
the last one standing.
2024
01:35:21,012 --> 01:35:23,264
At that point, I was like,
I'm leaving.
2025
01:35:23,264 --> 01:35:24,849
I want to go see my husband.
2026
01:35:24,849 --> 01:35:26,893
And we went to the hospital,
2027
01:35:27,519 --> 01:35:31,147
the doctor came and he said,
"I couldn't save him."
2028
01:35:32,148 --> 01:35:34,776
And I just wanted to get up
and leave,
2029
01:35:35,568 --> 01:35:37,487
and I wanted my kids.
2030
01:35:42,242 --> 01:35:43,368
