Dario Franchitti celebrates his Indianapolis 500 victory Sunday. The celebration was moved indoors because of heavy rain, which ended the race early.

“My mirror was broke, so I had no idea who was outside of me. I apologize. I was upside down for a long time,” Marco said. “I’m one lucky guy.

“I’m going to be bruised, but to come out of that bruised, I’m going to be happy. What’s making me overcome the bruises right now is I’m so proud of Dario Franchitti.”

The two team wins have been about all the good luck the Andrettis have had at Indy for the last four decades, but Michael Andretti, who finished 13th on Sunday, wasn’t complaining.

“It’s still all about winning, isn’t it?” said the man who has led more laps at Indy than any other non-winner. “That’s why we have five cars out there. At the end, we want one of them winning. I’m so very happy for Dario personally. He’s been such a big part of AGR since day one.”

Any chance Kanaan had to win evaporated on lap 156 when Jaques Lazier crashed in front of him. Kanaan spun, barely avoiding the inside barrier near the pit entrance. He rolled into the pits with a flat tire and was later penalized when his crew changed all four tires in a closed pit, instead of just the one that was flat. He wound up 12th, just ahead of team co-owner Michael Andretti.

“It’s one of those sort of bittersweet moments,” Franchitti said, referring to the red flag. “I’m looking at it and I’m seeing Tony leading the thing and looking like he’s going to win it. I’m thinking, ’Well, I think my car is good enough here, but at the same time, my best friend’s leading this race, my other two teammates (Marco Andretti and Patrick) are second and third. It was looking like a pretty good day for us.

“The selfish side of me’s thinking, ’I hope we go back racing because I think we can do something.’ I wouldn’t be anywhere near as happy as I am now (if Kanaan had won), but it probably would have been the second best result of the day.”
