I read it yesterday afternoon. Things looked bad and sadly I now see that the worst scenario has happened.
My deepest condolences for family, fans, and all the Indycar community...

Didn't know until just now seeing Indycals' Facebook post. So sad. Thoughts for Justin's family.

Here is Justin the first time I saw him race - 2003 USGP.

Justin lived here in the Denver area. It really pisses me off that the local media never paid him any attention, even when he won races, until now.

I was at that race too, as a big Jaguar fan, was super happy he got points that race. 2003 USGP is the best F1 race I've ever been to.

I saw him race and win a Nissan World Series race in Interlagos, in december 2002. A race not to forget: it begun under a heavy summer rain, and finished under a hot summer sky. My clothes were still absolutely soaked by the time Wilson climbed the podium.

Always admired Wilson to endure racing in open wheelers even being so tall, and how fast AND nice the guy was, something to be pointed as an example to everyone. It's so sad that his daughters will grow up without him around.
