A truly sad thing to hear. A car spun in front of him in practice and he hit it.
My prayers are with his family.

Very sad.
I saw the accident in ESPN this morning, and it was horrific. Imagine getting t-boned at 200mph.

Actually he is the one that T-boned the other driver. He was a rookie and some people are wondering why he didnt slow down for the yellow. Scott Sharp's onboard camera shows Scott slowing down and Paul passing him a few seconds after the yellow. No matter the cause, it is a horrible accident.
I heard something about the sun being possibly in his eyes and he hadn't seen the yellow that had already been up for 6 seconds or so...
Racing is dangerous. Watching the clip, I thought it had to be the guy that spun, who died, thanks to tivo, I was able to figure out I was wrong.
Prayers sent. He was a year younger than me. Sad.
