2012 Indy 500 ends as fitting tribute to Dan Wheldon [SPOILER ALERT]

Dan Wheldon, the winner of last year's Indianapolis 500, died last October in a 15-car wreck during the Las Vegas 300. Unable to defend his title, three of his best friends in racing did it for him on Sunday during the 96th running of the Indianapolis 500. Dario Franchitti stood atop the podium for the third time, having finished the race in the lead under caution, with fellow friends of Wheldon, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan, on either side of him. While the order of finishers was anything but staged, the race itself saw a number of moments that were purposely dedicated to Wheldon and his family.
