The 23 year old IMS Rookie JR. Hildebrand almost won this years Indy 500. Leading the field at mile marker 499.75 he crashed on lap 200's third turn only feet from winning the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. JR lacking in composure relied instead on the outside wall to guide him to second place. Still very good at Indy.
Veteran and unemployed British driver Dan Wheldom passed Hildebrand before the yellow light came on to secure his Second Victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Hildebrand will be forever remembered in racing trivia for more number one's and first records than any other driver. Not since 1985's winner Danny Sullivan's spin and win have the spectator's witnessed the nearly unbelievable.
Next year I'm hoping the IMS will host a similar race for electric cars.
