I remember him racing for awhile at the Meadowlands. The recent win is a great achievement, but I would think the drivers competing against him have, at best, very mixed feelings.

i have to  respectfully agree
training is one thing but racing is different, you never know what can happen
at 91, sorry those reflexes and strength  are not there
hell at 61 they probably are not great

He's a different sort of guy. Fearless and not a bit fragile. Never seen anyone quite like him.
