Piloting and mastering a machine at 200 mph on the edge of control requires mental focus as well as physical prowess and endurance.

Everything else is just a game.

His is a story of determination, recovery and success. Not what the MSM or Hank likes to hear.

For a 24 hour race to come down, literally, to five minutes is nothing short of remarkable. Montoya and Allmendinger, in the next to last stint, put on one hell of a show.
