This Friday is my race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Wow. As a kid, I never thought I would get to race at the Speedway. But this time is my second year in a row. And I know I'm not in the 'big' show, but still. Unlike last year, I am not going to be happy with a good result, or a solid race. I want to win. And win BIG. We had a good test a couple of weeks ago and I have sooooo much confidence in the Andretti Autosport/ AFS Racing team that I know we can do it. While I have been busy bouncing around to appearances in LA, Raleigh, Chicago, and all around Indianapolis, the guys have been getting the car prepped and pretty. And man does she look good! I can't wait until first practice on Thursday! And this race will be the only televised Lights race this season. It will be shown live at 12:15 ET on Versus TV as part of the Carb Day coverageRoll on Indy, Roll on the Firestone Freedom 100, and (hopefully) Roll on the W!

Very cool race, Charlie! Congrats on the 2nd place!
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting you at Methodist Hospital earlier that week, and I'd look forward to the chance to say hello in person again. There's a great Diabetes Youth Foundation of Indiana camp up on the northside of Indianapolis, a place that Will Cross and one of the Indy 500 Princesses who's Type 1 recently have been involved with. It would be great to have you be there at some point, if possible!
