 WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) - After nearly catching up on lost sleep, Dario Franchitti feels "almost ready" to get back into his race car. Franchitti has been on a whirlwind tour this week in the wake of his Indianapolis 500 victory.
His busy schedule has included TV appearances and lots of interviews in New York City, media appearances in Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth and throwing out the first ball at a Houston Astros game — "It was pretty bad. I never threw a baseball before."
All that came on top of race day, when Franchitti awoke at 5 a.m., worked his way through a strange race that included a three-hour rain delay in the middle, and never got back in bed, thanks to post-race interviews and celebrations, until 7 a.m. the next day.
