And to bad he didn’t get podium, sure deserved it. What a bad azz run he had all night. We congratulated him back in the pits and you could tell he was so appreciate’ve and excited. Definitely got my attention and will be rooting for him in the future. Keep eye on this one folks. And Garrett, if by chance you read this, don’t touch that car!! Bring it back in a couple of weeks and prove this was a sign of things to come. Good luck young man!

Wonder if he is related to this man who led the first lap of the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911?

Bet He is now :D Dude flat stood on the pedal. I am sure the front runners were like "who the hell is this guy?" because I sure was! Dang, he was flying! He was sideways, He didn't care if he died!

May I ask Whats wrong with POWRI Midgets? Some of the best racing I have EVER seen was POWRI Midgets!!!! More often than not, their fields are filled with a lot of USAC cars, same thing with USAC races, guys race both series. So again I ask Whats wrong with racing POWRI midgets?

And WHATS WRONG WITH POWRI MIDGETS? Most guys race PowrI and USAC series. Some of the BEST races I have EVER SEEN were POWRI MIDGETS. So again I ask Whats wrong with POWRI MIDGETS?

Yes I thought that was very funny! Cottle SHOULD have been very impressed and should of left as a FAN of Aitken! Think Cottle going to be seeing a lot of Aitkens bumper in the future. He tried and tried to intimidate Aitken and the kid could not be shook.

I think Mike was pointing out he has raced with POWRi in the past,and wasnt knocking him at all. From some of the replies on here,I dont think that many have really heard of him.Maybe they dont read the POWRi results ?

I'll agree with POWRi having great racing. I havent been in awhile, (No fault of anyone other than myself) but it wasnt all that long ago I did the majority of the POWRi schedule despite all the racing right here in the back yard in Indiana,and many times against the popular opinion of where I should be going that weekend. One time I was even told I "wasnt a real race fan" as I chose going to Little Belleville to watch POWRi when USAC and the Gold Crown were 30 miles away. At the end of the night I had watched the features at both Little Belleville AND the Gold Crown,so I Thought I made a pretty decent effort trying to be a "Real Race Fan".

I went against the popular opinions,as I went where I thought I'd see the best racing on any particular weekend,and POWRi delivered that,and of course in the process I have seen Garret Aitken race with them many times over the years.

I've wondered that too since the first time I saw him a cpl years ago, Not only did Johnny lead the first lap, he has won more races at IMS than any driver in history

Yes, I found that to be very interesting. So if you are ever on Jeopardy and Alex Trebek says, "Won more races than any other driver at Indianapolis Motor Speedway" you can proudly say, "Who is Johnny Aitken"?
