Win from the Pole ???
Good question.
Got me thinking,,
I broke down and went to the sometimes reliable Wikipedia and it turns out it’s been done 20 times in all!
Rick Mears did it three times and the last two were Dixie and Helio in ‘08 and ‘09 respectively.
So there’s a good chance for the Mayor of Hinchtown!
What a rush it’s going to be for me, visiting my only 500 and getting to root for a home country guy whose team is co-owned by a home town guy! Bring it on!
I can’t wait to fly out. Heading to Toronto on Friday, near Hinch’s home town of Oakville, picking up a car there and driving down to Indy the next day.
Can you tell I’m pumped? :-)
cheers,
Jim
