The tragic death of Indy Car driver Dan Wheldon has cast a pall on the auto racing world. It is not the first fatal accident in the ultra-macho, ultra-dangerous sport. A tragic event has hit the Fresno community before.
Former Indy 500 racing champ Bill Vukovich of Fresno died at the 1955 Indianapolis 500.
