the Indy 500 in his first attempt, losing the race literally by inches on
the final lap.  This is Marco’s first season in the IndyCar Series - the
Indy Racing League’s premier division – and was a proven race winner in the
Indy Pros Series last season, which is the “Triple-A” open wheel development
series of the IRL.
