“making him the first F1 driver to win the Memorial Day classic since Graham Hill accomplished the feat in 1966″

Montoya had not yet raced Formula One when he won the Indy 500, so you’re statement is technically incorrect. But using your rules, you missed Jacques Villeneuve (1995), Mark Donohue (1972), Eddie Cheever (1998), Emerson Fittipaldi (1989, 1993) Mario Andretti (1969), Bobby Rahal (1986), Danny Sullivan (1985).

Biggest joke of an article I have ever seen. Placing dillion on any list that include the other two is like pissing on the other two.

I was and still am a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. I am one who is in favor of the return of the number 3. I will, however, watch the 3 car pull onto the track again for the first time in February with tears in my eyes.
One thing that has helped soften the blow for me was the number 3 Nationwide Series car. As long as that number was run on the Camping World truck, it just didn’t seem the same because it was, well, on a truck. But when they went to the Nationwide Series with the number 3, it was different because it was on a car. And I must say I got cold chills when I first saw that car on the track.
So, I have had two years to adjust to the site of a number 3 CAR on the racetrack.
But that emotion will ramp up considerably this coming February in Daytona with Austin Dillon.
