OK, so this year’s Indianapolis
500 won’t be run in the month of May. For many of us, however, May is more than
just a month – it’s a state of mind. So let’s still celebrate great cars and
drivers of the past anyway!

Marco Andretti came within a few feet of winning the
Indianapolis 500 as a rookie in 2006.

30 Days in May: No. 26,
Marco Andretti, 2006 NYSE Group Dallara/Honda. Say this for Marco Andretti: He added
to the family legacy of Indianapolis 500 frustration and heartbreak right off
the bat. As a 19-year-rookie, Andretti led coming out of Turn 4 on the last lap
before Sam Hornish Jr. blew past to nip him by 0.0635 of a second.
Last year, nothing went right on Race Day as the third-generation
driver wound up 26th. Overall, Andretti has run well at
Indianapolis, with eight top 10 finishes in 14 previous starts entering this
year’s (hopefully August) race.
