That's a brilliant story to read about. Sam Schmidt is a top guy; his commitment to motorsport even after his accident is remarkable, and Schmidt Peterson has had some wonderful results in recent years.

I wish I'd have 2% of his stubborn determination. I am a fan of sports solely because of such stories.

Saw him "drive" that car at Indy last year. What a wonderful mix of technological brilliance and raw human emotion. I was welling up as he got out of the car and was interviewed on TV.

Well stated. Sam's is quite a story.
