Michael Andretti was disapointing considering the lineage.

The argument could be made that Paul Tracy might be one of the worst - my theory is, someone with that much natural talent and raw speed should have won A LOT more races but he took himself out of contention with ill-advised, boneheaded moves.
(And I'm a fan. I think he should have been declared the winner of that infamous Indy 500)

OK, I'll mix it up a little and seem to be defending a few drivers mentioned.
The OP is talking 'professional driver' and believe or not, the great late #34 Walter Payton raced professionally. His heart was in it but a real wild man on the track. I'll put him in the running as worst pro driver. A big time shunt in 1993 during a Trans-Am event practice at Road America ended his racing career.

Re: Guerrero, he has a beautiful and talented family.
 Not so unlucky after all. The Guerrero flock has grown now. Marco, 24, is a mechanical engineer who enjoys working with the technical part of race cars — and doing the Baja 1000 with his dad. Evan, 21, is graduating from Lehigh as a biology major and is headed to medical school. Haley, 17, is a high school junior who is already being recruited by colleges for their soccer programs. “Looks like we’ll have a Dr. Guerrero in the family,’ Roberto said. “And mention Haley because people leave her out of stories, and I get in trouble.” Source: Where Are They Now?

I've seen his wife driving around SJC for years with the license plate, 92Pole, or something similar. I don't recall the year. I've always hoped to run into Roberto and chat with him, but never have. Cool dude.

Last year I was flipping stations and saw a roundy-round race on the tube, and Takuma "kamikazi" Sato was surprisingly in the lead.
I told my son, "that's weird. He usually crashes well before the half-way point of the race". I had no sooner finished that statement when Sato plowed into the wall. The only question is will he just take himself out or will he take others with him? Sure he won last week's LB grand pricks, but that's only because all the other drivers were hiding from him. In F1 he crashed or was DQ'd in almost half the races he entered. Bonzai! Last edited by sammyg2; 04-25-2013 at 02:28 PM.. Reason: typo |
