Danica Patrick is a proven winner with a legitimate shot at taking the checkered flag, all the top teams and drivers are back for the 92nd running of the Indy 500 and optimism is high for what should, for the first time in 13 years, truly be “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
Much of the optimism comes from the long-awaited unification of the two American open-wheel series in February.
Pointing to the strong mix of experienced drivers and young talent at Indy, longtime team owner Roger Penske said he’s excited about the sport’s possibilities, now that everyone’s under the IRL IndyCar Series banner.
“You can feel and see the difference on pit road, with all the cars and people coming to watch practice and qualifying,” Penske said.
“I’ve been telling everybody the black cloud has lifted,” said Michael Andretti, a member of one of Indy’s signature families and co-owner of Andretti Green Racing. “It’s such a great feeling.”
