CART: Post Race Notes, Target Grand Prix of Chicago, Michael Andretti

23 August 1999

MICHAEL ANDRETTI -6- K Mart/Texaco/Havoline Ford-Cosworth - Qualified 18th / Finished 22nd / Contact with Paul Tracy -

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND PAUL TRACY?

"It's unbelievable - normal Paul Tracy driving. He could have killed somebody out there. We both had good race cars and then he pinched me down into the corner and I had nowhere to go. I can't believe that he did it. Why? What was he thinking? I don't understand it."

AFTER A SITUATION LIKE THAT, ARE YOU GOING TO GO AND TALK WITH PAUL TRACY?

"It's like talking to a wall. This was so blatant I hope Wally (Dallenbach) talks to him. He was swerving at me all the way down the front stretch and when we got to the corner it was a totally winless situation. He took both of us out."
