Mario Andretti returns to Indy...but it isn't pretty.

I'm not a big supporter of video clips on the net, but this crash is really scary.

Thank goodness Mario's okay. Had that car been going around a bend...

Whoa!!!! What on earth did he run over?!?

I can not believe he wasn't injured - that thing could have ended up anywhere!

Thanks, PR!

Sorry, forgot the link. Saw it on AtlasF1.

Holy CRAP A couple of Mercedes CLKs comes into mind. Glad to hear he's not injured 👍

Had to drop the protection on the company firewall to see that!

Wow! What a shunt! He's REALLY lucky that it came back down the right way up! I wonder if there's any on-board!

What kinda FW's are you running ?.. We're using Sonicwalls and they are the **** imho... Instead of logging in as the admin I can log in with my username / pw and get unlimited inet access for 30 minutes

Had just left turn one at full throttle

Well - he's taken the hint and withdrawn. Good call, Mario!

A letter in this week's Autosport:

We love you Mario. Please, please stop.

Couldn't be put better.

Yeah, I saw this on the local news.. (I live about an hour or so from the track). Its a good thing he didn't land in the stands... just think what could have happened if that occured on race day.

EDIT: does anyone know if another site has the video? I can't seem to find it on that news site. I've even searched the web and everything seems to point back to that article.
