This was cool. I had to laugh that Prudhomme said he was still pissed at loosing to McEwen. But you know what? I would have to rank that race as one of the most important in Indy history, just based on the emotional aspect of it. Maybe next to that would be Prudhomme beating Jim Nicoll in Top Fuel, when Nicoll's car broke in half at the finish. Prudhomme was so shaken by seeing the front chasis of Nicoll's car going down the track ahead of him, that he thought about quitting. I always remember that race. Didn't see it in person, but have seen the footage so many times.
