I know; Dillon is hoping that the top three this year to be drivers
that, at the start of the year, were planning on driving a Panoz...
I was just pointing out that CART/CC drivers have dominated the Indy-500
once already... BTW--that year, 6th (and last on the lead lap) was Tony
Stewart, driving for Chip Ganassi--a CART/CC owner... So in a sense
CART/CC and NASCAR took the top six...
