Love him or hate him the series was never dull when Paul Tracy was around. A true win or bust racer. Though I have no idea how his career survived Houston 1998.
That's why I quit watching the "Indy 500". It was just Tony's 500. I KNEW that because Castro Nuts was an IRL boy, Tony George would take the win away from Tracy.
Regardless of how you look at 2002, Helios face is there... oh and it's there 4 times also. And he really dogged tf out of Tracy last year I was wheezing
What a disgrace only 20 comments for an all time great. If only Paul would have listened to the team managers, and didn't go buckwild in the early days he'd probably be the GOAT. PT. Is a great commentator and loved him on Super Cars.
funny how michael andretti also used that same livery for years but was never able to get a 2nd title using it (i guess da matta got the seat at the best time possible as teams like penske and chip ganassi decided to go to irl instead)
@@charliesmith5545 Agreed but he also ran his best season in his career. He was finishing instead of wrecking and going for it 24/7. I've listened to his interviews and he basically said "I raced to win a title" and finally won one. lol
And to think Roger wanted to put Paul in a Bettenhausen for 1995... Biggest mistake Roger's ever made, because even though he returned it soured their relationship and ultimately led to PT being canned over a petty comment in 1997.
really though, that was good for Paul. as Penske from 1995 to 1999 was uh..well they won races in 95 through 97 but they were nowhere near where they were. and 98/99 was a horrible time.
