Years ago my dad had taken my mother on their yearly fishing trip. Because mom was at the beginning of dementia they went to a lodge. Staying there were also a group of men moose hunting.
They shared their dining table.
Mom & dad saw moose every morning The hunters saw none. It became a running joke. One of them commented he wish he were fishing So mom slept in and he went fishing with dad.
As they were exchanging names. Mario told dad he drove cars. Dad asked what he did for a living. He was so embarassed when it clicked. THAT Mario. Somewhere I have a picture post card to dad thanking him for the great fishing and loan of his equipment Signed Mario Andretti.
Josef Newgarden has P2 for the 500. My husband was there watching. Newgarden is a genuinely nice guy.
