You didn't miss much on tape. A(lways)B(ad)C(overage) did their usual
crappy job of attempting to cover a CART race. (I'm still wondering how
it is that Michael Andretti finished 6th when the last I saw on ABC's
coverage he was in 12th going into the last commercial break...)

The "kid" is Scott Dixon. A Kiwi...(Dave Eaton et all should be
rightfully very proud of the "second coming of Bruce McLaren"). A

a pre-season test photo of him coming down the corkscrew:

Youngest driver to win a major open wheel race ever at only 20 years
old, and he did so in only his third CART start with a brilliant drive.
Add to that he started all the way back at 23rd spot!!! Way to go Scott
Dixon!
