I missed the contest, but enjoyed reading the answers I am curious, though, about Q3. Would not the answer be 1990? I do not believe Emerson ever drank the milk in Victory Lane. I know he drank orange juice first — perhaps he then drank the milk as well, but I do not recall that.

Keep up the excellent blog and Congratulations to you and Susan (My wife wasn’t as understanding — we got married in Muncie on a Friday night and went to the race Sunday as part of our Honeymoon)

I got that question directly from that episode, listening to it while doing yard work. – GP

Alex Tagliani led 20 laps in last year’s 500 with a similar facial hair style.

Some hard to find answers to several on my entry, which of course was not 100% correct. I even had a chat with Donald Davidson this past weekend and asked if he knew of the bearded driver to lead the 500 and he did not know of any. Love the trivia and history is what that is.

I learned quite a bit trying to track down these answers, which was enjoyable win-or-lose.
And thanks to you and to John for providing those very cool prints. I hope I can give them a good home.

By the way, when George told me who won I was not surprised!
