We had to go to the grocery store yesterday afternoon so I missed what was probably the best race of the weekend. Marco Andretti won the race. He may have done it under dubious circumstances.
The story goes like this: In the final laps of the race, Marco was leading but was running short on fuel. He desperately needed a caution period to slow the field so he could save fuel. It so happens that his teammate, Brian Herta, spun bringing out the yellow flag.
Can it be proven that Herta spun on purpose? No. Oh well, a win is a win.
Just last week I was chuckling at Marco's statement that he wants to be a better driver than his father and grandfather. Better than Mario Andretti? We shall see.
Next Race - Sunday September 1 Chicagoland Speedway, Joliet, Illinois
