Amid the tragic news that Dan Wheldon had passed away following his horrific crash at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Dario Franchitti has been confirmed as the 2011 IndyCar Series Champion. The Ganassi driver’s advantage over chief title rival Will Power stood at 18 points after the abandoned finale on Sunday afternoon.
A multiple car collision caused a red flag on Lap 12 of the 200-lap race, with proceedings never getting back underway after an announcement was made stating that Wheldon had succumbed to his injuries. With no points being awarded and positions remaining the same, Franchitti earns a fourth championship crown.
