Franchitti ?numb? over Wheldon loss

Newly-crowned IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti described himself as 'numb' and 'speechless' over the loss of his former team-mate and friend Dan Wheldon, who died from injuries sustained in an accident in the championship finale at Las Vegas on Sunday. Franchitti raced alongside Wheldon at Andretti Green for three years between 2003 and 2005, before competing against him when Wheldon switched to Ganassi, then Panther Racing and most recently Bryan Herta Autosport and Sam Schmidt Motorsports (which he was racing for at Las Vegas). "One minute we're joking around at the driver intros and the next Dan's gone," he told AUTOSPORT.
