John Andretti to lend voice to IMS Radio Network, not run Brickyard 400
Quote selected text Published July 24th, 2007 in NASCAR News
NASCAR and IRL driver John Andretti will join the IMS Radio Network as a broadcaster this Sunday for the Allstate 400 at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway [NOTE: he will NOT run in the new #08 Dodge as the team announced].
The Andretti name is synonymous with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Andretti, born in Pennsylvania, moved to Indianapolis and went to high school only miles from the speedway. In 1994, he made history by becoming the first driver to complete the Memorial Day “double” competing in the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Andretti made his return to the Indianapolis 500 this year.
Andretti, who recently completed a four race stretch in the #45 Dodge for Petty Enterprises, competed in this year’s Indianapolis 500 after a 13 year hiatus for Panther Racing and sponsor Camping World. He is, again, looking forward to coming back to Indy this season. IMS Radio coverage of the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard begins at 1:00pm/et.

If he can’t run a good race then I hope he can talk one…
It must be hard to sleep at night knowing Joe can take your place.
