Wheldon grew up in Emberton, bucks, moved to Florida to further his career, and had twice previously won the Indianapolis 500 – in 2005 and 2011.
Today motorsport was in mourning, British Formula One champions Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton led tributes to Wheldon, describing him as "talented and inspirational" driver.
Button, a contemporary of Wheldon's during their karting days, wrote on Twitter: "Just woken up to the most horrific news. Dan Wheldon RIP... I have so many good memories of racing with Dan in the early 90s, a true fighter."
