Goes to prove, a "taxi cab" drive can compete in Indy car, but Indy car drivers are not competitive in the "taxi cab" world.Example JPM, Danica.JPM gets cut after having great equipment and crashing or hitting a jet dryer.Danica sells lots of T-shirts and stuff, but NEVER a factor in a race.Unless you count being a jamb car field filler a factor.

being faster and placing or winnning are 2 different things

For once you make sense and you're absolutely right all in the same post.

All I'm saying is that there were 4 or 5 cars faster than buschy and in the case of everyone but Hinchcliffe and Bell they got caught up in a situation that was none of their own doing. Does that make sense to you Litey? LOL!!

[LITE-INN]

if you wreck you lose quite simple you have to first finish before you can finish first I thiink something that jack hewitt and kyle larson did at Eldora dwarfs any thing the nascar or indy guys did

fact check john andretti was the first in 94 to do the double on the same day only 4 have attempted. back in 70 when donnie did so well the races were NOT on the same day. John A,Robby G, Tony S, and Kurt B. back in the 70's I'm not sure it would be possible to even try the money was not their to cover the high cost of flying back and forth so much. I would like to see nascar change back to running on monday so other could try from both series he11 it might be good for both series.

Please read post #52 again, I said the 2 races in 1970 weren't on the same day.

The thread turned into a discussion of buschy doing so well in the 500 and that's correct up to a point. I merely pointed out that NASCAR drivers have done better than buschy in the 500 in the past even when the masters of The Speedway were in their prime. This fact has nothing to do with driving in both races in one day.

We were at the 500 and buschy never, ever got even a sniff at the lead, they kept wreckin' and havin' problems in front of him (see Ed Carpenter, James Hinchcliffe, Townsend Bell and Scott Dixon) and he got a 6th. Was he the 6th fastest guy? Not by several positions.

The Indy 500 has always been run first since they put lights at Charlotte so the guys that do the double will be fresh for the 500 and not so much for the 600. My point? If the miles of racing are going to take their toll then it is far more apt to show in the 600.

I looked and found no evidence that the World 600 was ever scheduled for Monday. I might have not researched that claim 100% but I found nowhere that indicated that was ever the case.

and the names like andretti and foyt keep popping up I wish that foyt would a nascar driver in his instead his his drivers he has right now

There again you need to know what you're talking about. Allison did do the double in 1970!! He completed all 1,100 miles, too.

The World 600 was run on May 24, 1970 and was won by who?! Why it was none other than the 4th place finisher in the Indy 500 Donnie Allison.

The Indy 500 was run six days later on Saturday May 30, 1970.

It's just a little tough to compete in both races in one day when they're run 6 days apart. LOL @ u!!

Donnie made some serious money in less than a week!! If memory serves me the 1970 Indy 500 was the first auto race in history to boast a $1,000,000.00 purse. Allison started the 500 way back in 23rd position, too.

Now, tell me again which taxi cab driver has the most impressive performance in The Greatest Spectacle In Racing?

LOL!!! I thought so.

I think some like living in the past and won't give Kurt Busch credit and zyoung25 you can say the about the Indy boys

[zyoung25]

I'm just glad to see another one of nascar guys step outside of their realm. Busch also tried drag racing a few years back, don't think he ever qualified but still he gave it shot.

They blow these nascar guys up to be "greatest drivers in the world" but rarely step out and show their talent. Not their fault though, all about the sponsors trying to protect their driver. I remember hearing that Hendrick wanted Schrader to give up dirt back when he drove for him for that reason. Imo that's stupid, I give more respect to the guys who go out and try this stuff regardless of their result.

I seen highlights of the 600. That place looked like a ghost town. I used to attend that race and it was always slammed with people. It looked to me like there wasn't a soul on the back side sitting.

Huh?!!!!!!

[LITE-INN]

but which Indy has done both Foyt and co doesn't count because they ran all classes
