Happy Birthday Mario Andretti.  Funny story- my family attended a race at Nazareth when I was little.  The announcer was talking about Mario Andretti possibly making his champ car debut at Trenton (I don't exactly remember the comment).  I asked my late father "Pop, who is that they are talking about?"  and he said "Ah, some local kid.  He'll never amount to nothin'."   I mentioned it to Pop many years later and he, of course, didn't remember making the comment.  Lesson: watch what you say to little kids!
