Jimmie Johnson switched from NASCAR to Indy Car this year.
He has spun out twice today on the St. Pete Grand Prix.

Big difference between 3500lb/700hp NASCAR race cars and a 1700lb/700hp Indy Car Go-Kart.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

Probably thought those wings would hold him down, but those things get just as squirrelly if not more when in dirty air. Or maybe he expected to bump to bump into somebody to hold him in place and they weren't there.

The talent level is high in the series. It is not easy to jump into an Indy car and be competitive on the road and street courses. Jimmie would at least stand a chance on the ovals. I hope he changes his mind about running them.

There is only one A.J. Foyt, and nobody else is worthy.

Mario Andretti is right up there with A.J. Foyt

Andretti 52 Indy car wins, one Indianapolis 500 win, four championships, one Daytona 500 win, never won at LeMans even though he raced there a bunch of times.

Foyt 67 Indy car wins and four 500 wins and seven championships. Won the Daytona 500, and won his only race at LeMans.

Foyt was more active in NASCAR, Andretti dabbled in F1. Both kicked butt in other minor racing categories.

Coke vs Pepsi
Bud vs Miller
Estes vs Centuri
Andretti vs Foyt

Foyt won more in Indy and NASCAR, which is where the OP's subject refers. Overall, I think it boils down to who was in the best crashes, cause lets face it...that's why we watch. I'll have to do some serious youtube investigation before a winner can be announced.

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

Like I said earlier, Foyt had more wins than Andretti in both Indy and NASCAR, which is what the original post refers to. I'd have to look up the Allison brothers.

1978 F1 Champion ... dabbled indeed.

but yes I agree Foyt > Andretti

Yeah. Andretti won a F1 Championship.
Far more impressive than anything in NASCAR.
