Audience Participation Required

It’s long overdue, but we need some nicknames over here. Since the start of the season three drivers from three different racing series have entered as kinda sorta fulltime drivers in the IndyCar series. Might as well get ‘em some monickers.

Name: John Andretti
Team: Roth Racing:
Facts: Son of Mario’s twin brother Aldo, Andretti left open-wheel racing in the mid 90s for a decade of decadence in the N-Word where even a backmarker is paid handsomely. Generally regarded as a nice guy, he’s proven to be a solid driver even with a new team like Roth Racing.
Possible Nickname: “Andretti 2.5” per audience suggestion

Name: Jamie Camara
Team: Conquest Racing
Facts: Most recent pronunciation is “kuh-MAH-ruh”. Longtime Indy Lights competitor with 3 wins in 42 races. This Brazilian (there’s a brazillion of them!) is most famously known as being like a little brother to Tony Kanaan, once infamously confused with Anthonly Fedele.
Possible Nickname: “Z28” per audience suggestion

Name: Mario Dominguez
Team: Pacific Coast Motorsports
Facts: Former Champ Car regular with 2 wins and 12 podiums in 87 starts. Checking out his stats it looks like he’s had his best finishes at street races (4 Top 5s at Long Beach, 3 podiums at Surfers Paradise). Oh, and he’s from Mexico City.
Possible Nickname: “Super Mario” has been used by the media, but that’s far from original. Two words: Mario Lemieux.

Feel free to put on your suggestions in the comments. In fact, I’m begging you to do so.

As an addendum, the pictures for Marco Andretti and Graham Rahal are being changed after receiving numerous complaints. It seems Anonymous took issues to the fact that the previous pictures made the drivers look too young, despite the fact that they are, in fact, youthful. The horror.
