John maybe one of the better drivers in the field. He didn't just
compete in Cup, he won there. He won in Cart pre split. Drove
dragsters for a while as well. The layoff won't help him but he is
much younger than many that have come out of retirement to run it one
more time. If he gets any seat time at all, the technology has been
dumbed down to the point that he probably can get up to speed fairly
quickly compared to most. Thing is with a top field, John should have
no chance at all at being competitive. The fact that he will not only
make the show with as little seat time as he will get, but might be
competitive in the race says less about John and more about the IRL.



His win in CART was due to the leaders crashing out at the end of the
race.

John may have the same chance as a turtle among slugs.

John wil be John. If the car runs all day, he'll finish somewhere around
5th-10th. It's very unlikely that he'll take himself out. He'll run midpack
& move up as those in front of him fall out.

Another washed-up never-was in the IRL 500 "race"....

Oh, let him race. He is not doing anything at the moment (that could
be more important than filling the field with never-was drivers) after
his failed career as a Cup racing (impostor) driver.

How many more zero-quality drivers will magically appear with the
initials "TBA"?

Maybe Lynn St. James will make another run.... Or how about the
legendary Kevin Cogan?

Jeff Andretti?

For those not in the know (90+ % of those here), John
has more podium finishes, including wins, in both CART
and Cup, than most of the participants in either series.
Jeff's (yet another Andretti Rookie of the Year) life was
very nearly ended when Foyt installed a known struck
and damaged wheel (they don't simply spontaneously
and catastrophically shatter for no reason) on his car,
which inevitably failed, leading to the quite premature
end of his barely begun career.

John Andretti has 3 wins in 19 years of racing.

You really are in some kind of twisted Andretti Fantasy land, aren't
you.

Most drivers never make a podium appearance,
let alone win, and none have attained the status
of the Andretti dynasty, numskull.

Hump away, pissant, hump!

Poor addlebrained nincompoop doesn't realize that the
word dynasty doesn't apply to an individual, but at
least he continues to provide sui generis entertainment.

LOL!

Remember watching Michael in Europe in F1 and Sandy would be shown
looking like a reject from the Sopranos in her hoop earrings and
jungle prints?It was such a sight -- all those beautiful, well dressed
European women and trashy Sandy!

True American class, well at least what passes for class in the
Andretti household.

John wil be John. If the car runs all day, he'll finish somewhere around
5th-10th. It's very unlikely that he'll take himself out. He'll run midpack
& move up as those in front of him fall out.

The real question is, how many will suffer the John Andretti chrome
horn before 500 miles is over?

It isn't always about winning. John has had an glorious career punting
hundreds of drivers off the track. He is the one in Busch when running
several laps down, punted Tracy off the track and out of 5th position.

That is what dot-bot considers a good career.

He is so good, Vitor Meira had to set up and practice John's car
yesterday.

This is great. The more it posts, the more frazzled and irritated it
seems to get.

I'm sure complete meltdown is approaching....
