His book, "They Call Me Mr. 500", is one of my favorites.
By the way, did his museum ever get built?

Is Andy the oldest living person to attempt to qualify for the Indy 500.

Any he was one of the people that made Indy a special place.

I believe Chuck Weyant is the oldest living person to have run the 500
