    Life's not fair.

    If you'd gotten a better education and worked harder, you could have been a dead race car driver, too.

    I haven't seen anything suggesting the family is seeking donations from anyone.

    About 50 percent of that purse goes to the team. I don't remember how everything else shakes out, but like of the $5 million bonus at Vegas, half would have gone to a fan, half of Wheldon's half to his team, and he was going to end up with like $800K. Nothing to sneeze at, but with houses, cars, and two kids 2 and younger, that's not paying all bills and putting those kids through school.

    And PC's right, it's not like Susie Wheldon started the fund.
