Franchitti Announces Retirement Following Houston Wreck

On Friday, four-time Indycar Champion and three-time Indy 500 champion Dario Franchitti announced that will retire from racing after sustaining a career-ending injury at the Shell GP of Houston back on October 6th.

According to Franchitti, "One month removed from the crash and based upon the expert advice of the doctors who have treated and assessed my head and spinal injuries post-accident, it is their best medical opinion that I must stop racing. They have made it very clear that the risks involved in further racing are too great and could be detrimental to my long term well-being. Based on this medical advice, I have no choice but to stop."
