Paul Dana Biography
Indy Racing League IndyCar Series driver who only started in 4 races before dying tragically in a crash at Homestead-Miami Speedway during a practice session.
He worked as a car mechanic at Bridgestone Racing School and had other jobs as a private racing coach, PR & marketing account representative, and journalist.
In his honor, teammates Buddy Rice and Danica Patrick did not compete at the sight of the fatal crash that year.
He is survived by his wife Tonya.
David Letterman gave an emotional condolences speech during his Late Night show following the tragedy.
Paul Dana (/ˈ d eɪ n ə / ; April 15, 1975 – March 26, 2006) was an American racing driver in the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series.
In 1996 Dana was working as a mechanic at the Bridgestone Racing School in Ontario when he won his first races there. In 1998 he moved to Indianapolis and began competing in Barber Dodge Pro Series, and his top 20 finish earned him an invitation to the inaugural Formula Dodge National Championship. He then competed in the Infiniti Pro Series where he captured one race win and placed second in the 2004 championship. He then secured sponsorship to run in the IndyCar Series with sponsorship from Ethanol suppliers, which he brought to Hemelgarn Racing.
After competing in three IndyCar Series events, Dana suffered a spinal fracture while practicing for the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and missed the rest of the season, replaced by Jimmy Kite. He returned to the series to race for Rahal Letterman Racing after he recovered from his injuries.
On his March 27, 2006, television show, an emotional David Letterman paused during his monologue to offer his condolences to Dana’s family:
In the practice session for the first race of the 2006 IndyCar Series season, at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Dana collided with Ed Carpenter’s disabled car after Carpenter’s tire went flat, thrusting Carpenter’s car into a retaining wall, before it slid to the bottom of the track. Dana, in the Rahal-Letterman car, was told to “go low” by his spotter. Slow-motion footage showed that Dana had hit debris from Carpenter’s car just before impact, which caused damage to the right-front suspension and prevented effective braking.
