    ohhh A blast from the past thread.

    Anyway, Mario Andretti wasn't born in the States. He was born in Italy and emigrated in his late teens.

    Canada's list of racing heros starts off strong but then fades away pretty quickly.

    Gilles Villeneuve
    Jacques Villeneuve
    Paul Tracy
    Greg Moore
    Ron Fellows
    Scott Goodyear
    Patrick Carpentier
    Alex Tagliani
