"Ninety-two years ago [the Indy 500] was probably like any other race," said 2005 winner Dan Wheldon. "But over time it's just created so many storylines and history for people of our generation that now it's just massive. People value that history and tradition and you just can't take that away." -
"I can tell them about a lot of cool things."
Yep. These broadcasts are going to be a lot of fun. -
Just an excellent thing for Rusty to do - and something he is taking it upon himself to do.
I watched a videotape the other night about Penske's winning both the Indy Car (CART) and nearly* winning NASCAR championships in the same year. At one point during a "mockumentary" tour of Penske South, the camera crew "catches" Rusty mopping floors in the restrooms
Heckuva driver and a heckuva funny-yet-sensible person.
I think he's going to be a great addition to the Indy Car booth, and it'll be good for the soprt as long as it lasts
* Rusty had 8 wins that year to champion Earnhardt's 4."Each day well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this one day for it, and it alone, is life"
~ Sanskrit poem attributed to Kalidasa, "Salutation to the Dawn"

So who is going to let Rusty drive their car?

Well, he wouldn't get out of an electric chair to drive one, but if it helps him do his job better he's all game. You've got to respect that.
Although, I always felt his "electric chair" comment was meant as a term of respect and not as an insult to begin with.It's impossible, that's sure. So let's start working.- Phillipe Petit

Ah, there's nothing more exciting than science. You get all the fun of sitting still, being quiet, writing down numbers, paying attention... Science has it all.Comment

Well as they've already shared a car once before, maybe it'll be Danica. Some seat adjustments might be needed though....Originally posted by PowercatSo who is going to let Rusty drive their car?

There better be some video of this... Maybe he'll get Miller Lite to sponsor his test. Would like to see those colors on an IndyCar again.Comment

I always took it the same way. A "tip of the hat" to drivers willing to drive them.Originally posted by Bombardier R142Eff LBD!Comment

Is it possible Rusty will like it so well, he will be in an IRL car for the season?Comment
-
probably not. However, it may light the desire to try the Indianapolis 500.Have attended: Indy 500 (36), Belle Island (3), Kentucky (4), St Pete (3), Homestead (1), Texas (2) Michigan (5), Cleveland (3), Iowa (6), Chicagoland (5), IRP (2), Eldora (3)...Comment

He did 230 in a stock car at Talledega a couple of years ago. If that doesn't frighten him, nothing will.Comment

I think this is a fabulous idea and I say "More power to him"
Having Rusty in the booth will certainly be an asset and hopefully just might draw some of the fine fender fans to tune in just to watch Rusty.....but while they are watching they will soon discover that the IRL offers an excitement in racing found no where else
