JR Hildebrand, racing for the CFH Team finished 8th at the INDY 500 today.
NOTE: Of the only 7 drivers ahead of him at the finish, 3 are with SuperTeam Penske, 2 with SuperTeam Target Chip Ganassi, 1 with Rahal Letterman Lannigan, and one with Andretti Racing. All teams with Gazillions of $$$$$ behind them.
While CFH is a good team! It's kind of a Sissyfusian effort against the juggernaut.
You folks who know IndyCar racing know how impressive that is.
You folks who don't know IndyCar racing. See Below.
He was as high as 6th place and ran as low as 23rd. Lots of pit issues, crashes, strategies and he kept his nose clean and turned in another SOLID top ten finish! Best on his team... Joseph Newarden his teammate finished 9th, his co owner and other teammate Ed Carpenter was credited with 30th after crashing out midway.
For those of you who don't follow IndyCar racing....
1) You suck!
2) Wattsamattu?
3) That's 3 THREE TOP TEN finishes in the last 5 years in one of the toughest, longest and most important races in the world.
4) Folks we're talking 230 plus MPH inches away from other competitors! For 3 hours! Without a
bathroomor
Twinkie break!Super Human!
OR as we know him.....
Just Sayin!
I hope JR , or at least his folks, see this creation of celebration you've created. I did watch the race he came in 2nd - and was amazed at his skill through crashes and back and forthing blocking him. I think another note worthy item is the fact that he hasn't had a major crash - nor has he caused one. It is exciting to know people who know people - and he is a super star as a wonderful kid of the family.
