Indy Racing League team co-owner Michael Andretti needs two drivers to fill the seats of his Indy 500 entries, as two of his regular drivers have injuries. Who might get a chance to qualify one of those cars? His 63 year old dad, Mario.

Mario had a horrific-looking crash today after hitting some debris. His car went airborne and flipped 3-4 times in the air but luckily the car landed upright. You've gotta see the video [realvideo link].

Mario on the subject of the quality of the drivers in the IRL: "I wouldn't let most of those guys drive my Ferrari to the drugstore." Looks like he should have listened to his own words.
