As I recall, he's got a couple of hot rods he built himself in his garage, and he and his father built some drag-racing cars when he was younger. I seem to recall Buddy was excited to win the 2004 Indy 500 because that gave him cash enough to finish a custom 1949 Mercury he was working on. <BR/><BR/>Buddy strikes me as a sort of AJ Foyt type: If the rules allowed it, he and his father would probably "womp up" an Indy car in the machine shop for next May.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-62840004054443342102008-11-11T16:32:00.000-07:002008-11-11T16:32:00.000-07:00Yeah, the Andrettis have a winery, but they've cor...Yeah, the Andrettis have a winery, but they've cornered the market on whining too.

I was worried when Red Bull started a Cup team that we'd lose him, but he's stuck it out. I really hope D&R can land some real money, and mount a charge one of these days. Buddy seems like a nice guy, and he's a true Indy racer, not just a guy who landed there once he washed out of GP2, or a guy looking to move into Cup as soon as possible. We need more Buddy Rice types.Fred Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379706257551429697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-63406051271027882812008-11-11T10:33:00.000-07:002008-11-11T10:33:00.000-07:00My dad was flying out of Phoenix one weekend durin...My dad was flying out of Phoenix one weekend during the summer and when he was getting up to leave, he saw Rice sitting some rows up from him in coach (yes, even when he's not at a racetrack, he wears his hat real low with a flat bill). Once he gets off the plane, he looks around but doesn't see him. He was going to wish him luck at the upcoming race, I think Watkins Glen. Unfortunately, no one else on the plane recognized a former 500 winner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-55509597864419267972008-11-11T10:21:00.000-07:002008-11-11T10:21:00.000-07:00Castroneves Paycheck Loans?
