Dan Wheldon dies after crash in IndyCar Las Vegas race

Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former IZOD IndyCar Series champion and two-
time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died from injuries sustained in a
horrifying 15-car crash during Sunday's 300-mile season-finale race at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway. He was 33 years old.
Wheldon, who captured his series title in 2005 and won his second Indianapolis
500 five months ago, was fatally injured after his car became airborne. The
vehicle then appeared to hit the outside wall and catch the fence along the
backstretch, and erupted into flames. The incident occurred after Wade
Cunningham ran into the back of J.R. Hildebrand, sending Hildebrand's car
airborne and triggering the crash.
IndyCar chief executive officer Randy Bernard made the announcement of
Wheldon's death roughly two hours after the accident occurred.
"IndyCar is sad to announce that Dan Wheldon passed away from unsurvivable
injuries," Bernard said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today."
Bernard also announced the race would not finish. Shortly after, drivers made
a five-lap salute to Wheldon.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
