According to a recent article on IndyStar.com, there is plenty of opportunity for a newcomer to walk away with victory at the Indy 500 later this month.
Team Australia’s Will Power, sponsored by Aussie Vineyards, was one of the rookies cited in the article by Curt Cavin as having a shot at the prestigious title this year. Cavin interviewed a number of Indy veterans including Tony Kanaan, a heavy favorite this year, who said he is not discounting the chances of the newcomers. Former 500 winner Bobby Rahal cited Power as one who he thinks can overcome inexperience to win the race.
Factors such as preparedness, knowledge, engineering and strategy were cited as more critical than in the past and may help newcomers overcome inexperience.
With as many as 13 rookies in the 33-car field, the world’s most famous motorsports event promises excitement again this year. The race will be held on May 25.
