Mad as hell, and still a shows some of the most respectible sportsmanship anywhere.

The drivers of the 500 are among the most classy, and should be renowned as some of the most respected athletes in the world of not only racing, but sports.

I cannot wait until May!!!

I want Panoz and Lola to build new chassis for the 2011 IndyCar Series.

Fittipaldi's car control after hitting Al's rear wheel is incredible.

Dirty pass my eye. I was there. It was Al Jr. who once more tried to pull one of his dirty tricks, this time against a real class act like Emo. Emo saw it coming, protected himself and... Al lost. End of story. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Real class at the finish too Al. What a jerk. An embarassment to America. Anyone who posts a stupid reply to this is a idiot and I could care less what you think, so save it...

Emmo didn't throw his car against Al, he just keep his way and Al came by the outside and crash emmo's car, an accident, not a dirty pass, Like you trynig to say.

@mtnbikerdenis look at 0:40 to 0:44, Al making a VERY VERY clean manouver...trying to take Emmo out of the track.

[mtnbikerdenis]

If you initiate contact during a pass, and wreck the guy you are passing, you are an idiot. Let's say Lemmo is a great driver. He drives into the corner knowing full well he will contact Al and it is most likely that the car to his outside will be wrecked, possibly causing injury or worse to that driver. He makes the move anyway. That makes him an idiot in any form of racing. Any idiot can wreck the driver leading to win a race. A truly great driver will make a clean pass.

Drinking milk is an Indianapolis 500 tradition. Indiana farmers have a lot of pride in their product and have sponsored the race for years. That is disrespecting a sponsor who helps make the race possible and the money the driver wins. Never see the orange people sponsoring anything.

@mtnbikerdenis Sure you write correctly, you leave in USA and speak english; I don't know english too well, because i speak Portuguese, two completely diferent languages. I don't have any doubt, you couldn't write one pharse in portuguese.

2 or 3 cars ? tyrell, mclaren, Lotus and Ferrari,its 4, And today is a very diference than this i supose. You trying to campare a "little Dad's baby" like Al to a legend of 70's F1 driver, Emmo only not won in F1, every rank of automobilism he pass, he win.

Emmo is Legend. As a British motorsport fan I will never forget his achievements both in Indycar and F1. Formula One world champ at in 1972, Double Indy 500 winner Indy series champ and still showing the young guys how its done in the 90's. Anyone who still holds a grudge for him not drinking the traditonal milk after his indy 500 win should let it go, Anyway, drinking milk is no way to celebrate a win, Champagne is the only way to go im afraid
