Montoya was perfect all race - not a wheel wrong the whole time. Pruett gave me a couple heart attacks just after he got in the car - he almost got into a few people.

As for Porsche winning in GT (they did), they had 90% of the GT field. I think there were two vettes, two Pontiacs, and three Mazdas.. And about 20 911s.

a very historic race indeed! For a driver to have a major race victory at Indianapolis, Monaco, and now one of the marquee endurance races is a true rarity in motorsports. some Guys try their entire careers to attain even one of those results only to retire without ever achieving it.
I'm sure many race fans will be following closely to see if the guy can take Daytonna and the 24 Hours of Lemans. (very beautiful wife too)...

I believe Mario Andretti is the only driver to have ever won the Daytona 24 hrs, an F1 race, and the Indy 500.

Jacques Villeneuve could become the second driver to win the 500, the F1 World Championship, and LeMans this summer. Graham hill being the other, but Graham doesn't have an Indy Car title to his name.
