La carrera más grande del mundo tuvo otra gran demostración de otro joven piloto mexicano: Josele Garza, quien a final de cuentas, fue coronado como “Novato del Año”, y ahora que vean este video, comprender´n que fue una gran victoria para un inexperimentado mexicano de 19 años. Por cierto! En la narración, dicen que Josele tenía 22 años pero NO! Estaba rompiendo el récord de ser el más joven, al arrancar de 19 años con 70 días. Además, a los 19 años, era el piloto más joven en la historia en correr en Indianápolis. Años después, Josele saldría en un artículo de Autosport, donde la describe como “Race of my life”. Josele se une a los nombres mexicanos que han probado Indy: Pedro Rodríguez, Al Loquasto, Héctor Alonso Rebaque, Bernardo Jourdain, Adrián Fernández, Carlos Guerrero, Michel Jourdain Jr, y Mario Domínguez siendo este, un gran momento para nuestro deporte motor. This is the race of Josele Garza in the Indy 500 of 1981, where he finished as “Rookie of the Year” when 22 and in his second CART race.

Chase Race No. 8 Texas 2009
By STEPHEN HAWKINS (AP) FORT WORTH, Texas — Jimmie Johnson’s drive to history took a hard hit against the wall and Kyle Busch ran out of gas trying to complete an unprecedented NASCAR trifecta. Kurt Busch won at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday, taking over the lead with 2 1/2 laps left when his younger brother’s car suddenly slowed on the backstretch after leading 232 of the 334 laps. Johnson, the series points leader trying to become the first Sprint Cup driver to win four consecutive season championships, wrecked on the third lap. His crew needed more than an hour to repair and basically rebuild his No. 48 Chevrolet, but he returned to finish 38th — 129 laps behind Kurt Busch. Johnson’s points lead was cut from 184 to 73 over Hendrick teammate Mark Martin, who finished fourth, with two races left. “It’s still a respectable lead, 73 with two to go is a good position to be in,” Johnson said. “I hate we gave up all these points. … It’s not as bad as it could have been, we could have finished 43rd.” Kyle Busch won the Nationwide and Camping World Truck races at Texas, and was trying to become the first driver to win in all three of nascar’s national series on the same weekend. It was the 28th time he ran all three races the same weekend. “This is the first time Kyle and I raced each other hard,” said Kurt Busch, who led six times for 89 laps while also running second behind his brother much of the race. “It’s bittersweet, I was rooting for him, but at the same time this is for us. “
