Mikey...at some point you have to decide how long you want this to go on. I think you could win, but somehow I doubt it. It is your team, your choice and I know you are competitive, but sometimes, things are just not meant to be....

AJ was 50 what when he finally called it quits at Indy? Mikey's got game left and plenty of Honda money to keep him in a competetive car, unlike AJ did in his twilight years of racing.
HINCHTOWN!!

AJ was over the hill and should have retired by the mid 80s. While I'm not fan, I think Michael Andretti is still competitive, and should not have any problem running Indy for at least a couple more years.

AJ was his own team owner, so he would drive until he couldn't fit in the car no more. Mikey would have more credability with me if he ran full time, but he wont do that. I guess I just hate seeing guys past their prime beating their heads against the wall, but I suppose if one "oldtimer" deserves to keep trying, it is Mikey. For one, he isn't 50 yet, and for two, no one has led more laps without being in front on lap 200. I just know last year watching Marco almost win by a whisker would have been something if he had held on. Mike cant win one, and Marco damned near pulled it off on the first go round. The kid does have the royal jelly...

I think Michael has every right to participate in the Indy 500. It is a good way to show that he is still competitive and even if he doesn't win it, it is still nice to see a legend out on the most famous race of the year.
