1994 Coca-Cola 600: John Andretti's marathon day

John Andretti did the seemingly unthinkable in 1994, competing in both the Indy 500 and the Coke 600 on the same day. This is a brief chronicle of his performance and press coverage during the latter race.

@fatriani I know, too bad the Indy 500 and the Coke 600 got closer and closer, and too bad that John doesn't do as well as he thought in this video

Everyone who always pulls the double duty always misses the pre-race meetings and has to start from the back of the pack

too bad thats its impossible to do this anymore because of starting times(indy used to start at 11 am). if it was possible, then John would still do it, and Robby Gordon and Tony Stewart would do still do it.

I forgot Rick Benjamin was part of the TBS NASCAR team back in the day. This is the post Despain era. Dave used to be the pre race host for TBS.
