Thursday afternoon the racing world was taken off guard when Indycar and Indy 500 Champion Dario Franchitti announced his retirement from racing. His announcement come just a few months after his horrific crash at the Houston Grand Prix.
 Franchitti stated "...based upon the expert advice of the doctors who treated and assessed my head and spinal injuries post accident,it is their best medical opinion I must stop racing." He will continue to purse racing off the track, but this Hall of Famer will be recognized for his amazing accomplishments.
He has had an outpouring of thank yous from racers of every kind.
