Each year at this time I start thinking about a parade. Not one in remembrance, like the traditional Memorial Day Parade, but instead one of celebration. The parade is one I didn't see in 1969 when Mario won the Indy500. I did see pictures of that parade and each May I've hoped that either Mario, Michael, or now Marco would win so we could have another.
Two years ago it seemed like it was going to happen when Michael and Marco were 1st and 2nd with a few laps remaining, but Sam Hornish passed Marco in one of the most exciting finishes in history (read about the Andretti Curse here).
This year Marco returns in his father's AGR car with much more experience at his disposal.
Best wishes to Marco and all the drivers for a safe and memorable Indy 500!
