Race
Five: Indianapolis 500.
MARCO FINISHED A CLOSE 3RD at the Indianapolis
500 on May 25th. Marco drove an increasingly strong
race, leading the race several times in the closing
stages in a racec dominated by cautions and crashes.
Gallery from Race Day
Earlier in the race Marco was involved in controversy
when he tried to pass teammate Kanaan on the inside.
Kanaan was the race leader and his car had slid high
in the third turn wall after he had to turn away from
Andretti to keep from taking both drivers out. Tony
hit the wall, and then moved in front of Sarah Fisher,
an incident that took both drivers out of the race.

"As
a team, we did an awesome job all month. The Indiana
Jones/Blockbuster car was one of the ones to beat the
entire month. We made a team decision to do what we
did over the final couple of stints. If it works, we’re
in the lead with clean air in front of us. Unfortunately,
we missed, but we missed as a team. We finished third
and were able to get good points. Our goal is to win
a championship, so we’re moving on."
Ziggy
Harcus, Race Strategist, added "I think Marco
drove an excellent race today and I think we had a
shot at winning it. A couple of things didn’t
go our way in the pits but Marco did a great job today.
The Indiana Jones/Blockbuster team has a lot to be
proud of and I’m pretty happy with our result."
