Dan Wheldon David Letterman Indianapolis 500 Late Show

IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon died at the age of 33 on Sunday after a massive 15-car crash at the Las Vegas Indy 300.

He was a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, and after Wheldon’s second victory last May at the legendary race, he was a guest on “Late Show with David Letterman.”

It’s easy to tell from Wheldon’s visit why he was a star in and out of racing circles.

Wheldon charmingly takes it when Letterman, himself a racing enthusiast, pokes fun of him.

Sadly, at the end of the segment, Wheldon discusses safety additions to a new race car parked outside of Letterman’s studio, which he was to drive (as the back fender is marked) in 2012.

Check out the video below of Letterman’s lighthearted interview with Wheldon.
