Is It the Or IS IT THE CAR OR THE DRIVER? DRIVER?BY PACK BRYAN It’s an age-old question: Does a good car win races, or does it take a great driver? Are other factors involved as well?

Perry; Montage: 18 March 2010 March 2010 19 IS IT THE CAR OR THE DRIVER? If you assemble a group that’s willing to work together, everything else will take care of itself.

NASCAR’s much-heralded Car of Tomorrow has proved itself to the satisfaction of the sanctioning body, although some drivers still have their reservations. For the 2010 season, there’ll be two changes; sometime in March the rear wing will be replaced with a spoiler and the four orifices on the carburetor restrictor plate will be enlarged to 63 ⁄64ths for the Daytona and Talladega races this year.

Foyt in the ’60s. Montoya finished tenth in the 2010 Daytona 500. For another look at the car or driver question, let’s go back to the two Offen- hauser-powered front-drive machines built and entered in the Indy 500 by Lou Moore from 1947 through 1950, several years before the team approach became popular. For three years in a row, one of the two cars won the race. Bill Holland was leading in ’47, when More than Moore cautioned him to go easy. Team- mate Mauri Rose zipped past him and 50 certification tests they finished one-two. The next year, in 12 specialties. they finished in the same order. Finally, in 1949, Holland won the race. In 1950, Rose moved to another team and Holland finished second again in the same Offy-powered car. Not bad— three seconds and a first in four races. Where did the arguments about car vs. driver first start? Evidence says that with first-rate cars, any good driver could be successful. But what happens with an outclassed car? The car might be obso- lete, underpowered, ill-fitted for the track or just not in condition to go racing. Three examples from the early, middle and modern eras of racing add fuel to the fire of enthusiasm for the drivers. My favorite is Ralph DePalma, who raced from the early teens in the last century to the mid-’30s. He compiled a record of 2557 wins in the 2889 races he entered!

  • They Did It! Dan Gurney and Brock Yates in a 172 Mph Ferrari Race a Wild Assortment of Challengers Across Country
    hose damn fools, they went and did it. Shortly after midnight on the 15th of November, 1971, six outlandish vehicles, manned by 16 even more outlandish drivers, co-drivers, navigators, me- chanics—and a TWA stewardess, for God's sake—scattered out of the Red Ball Garage on East 31st Street in New York City and headed west. A few hours passed and two more entrants joined the chase—a coast-to-coast epic that will be remembered as the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. Eight vehicles in all, 23 lunatics. Less than a day-and-a-half later (six minutes less to be pre- cise), the first car, a mud-streaked Ferrari Daytona, yowled into the parking lot of the Portofino Inn in the marina of Re- dondo Beach, California, 2863 miles from New York. In the next three hours, four more machines had checked in, and the exhausted, red-eyed competitors were lounging around, breathing the gentle Pacific air, stretching their cramped, grubby bodies in the warm sun and exchanging tales of their adventures. Twenty-four more hours passed before the last competitor, a pachydermatous Travco Motor Home with a shrieking police motorcycle escort, rolled sedately over the finish line. It was over. The Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Me- morial Trophy Dash had entered the annals of sporting minuti- ae, leaving future generations to decide what it meant, if any- thing. To those involved, it had been an adventure, encompass- ing difficult endurance driving, nasty weather, brushes with the law—some of the latter bordering on the absurd—naviga- tional challenges and a variety of mechanical troubles.

  • Happy 75Th Birthday to Legendary Driver Mario Andretti! BRUCE MARTIN / FOX SPORTS FOXSPORTS.COM
    Happy 75th birthday to legendary driver Mario Andretti! BRUCE MARTIN / FOX SPORTS FOXSPORTS.COM FEB 28, 2015 4:53p ET Jonathan Ferrey / Getty Images Mario Andretti has dominated in nearly every form of racing, making him one of the most iconic drivers of all time. As Mario Andretti celebrates his 75th birthday on Feb. 28, one of the most magical names in international racing history chooses not to pause and reflect on his extraordinary accomplishments or his remarkable life. He doesn't think back to the long days when he grew up in a displaced persons camp in what is now Croatia from the darkest days Europe ever experienced during World War II. That is when Andretti's native Italy was under siege as a member of the Axis powers during the war. During the Istrian exodus of 1948, Andretti's family was confined to an internment camp in Lucca, Italy, along with other families trying to flee communism in post-World War II Europe. But there is one day that Andretti will remember on this milestone birthday, and it came on June 16, 1955. The ocean liner carrying Luigi and Rina Andretti's family cruised into New York Harbor, and the 15-year-old Mario saw the Statue of Liberty gleaming like a beacon of hope at dawn of a glorious summer day. "That was one memorable morning," Andretti told FOXSports.com from his home in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. "It was June 16, 1955, at 5 a.m. We were sailing past the Statue of Liberty on a beautiful, radiant morning, and we were celebrating my sister Ana Maria's 21st birthday.
