Alex Zanardi returns to Indianapolis this week to celebrate the shining moments of his racing career.



While the two-time CART champion never got to compete in the Indianapolis 500 because of the open-wheel split, he said he harbors no ill will or regrets.
"My attitude is to always enjoy what I have and try to evaluate what I have in my hands rather than what either was slapped away or I never got my grip on," he said in a phone interview earlier this week. "Of course, it would have been fantastic to race at Indy, but I got my chance to get around (the track).
"I paid my dollar and rode the (tour) bus in 1996."

various good stuff in there. Olympics, WTCC, Chip sez he raced in the earl, etc.;)
