Who is the only driver to win the World Championship, the Indy 500, and the Daytona 500? What other major auto racing event is he still trying to win?

Mario. And I'd guess either LeMans or the Baja.

Mario raced Nascar?

I did not know that.

Yep he sure did do the NASCAR thing. Mario was a very divers driver

ESPN has a pretty good mini-article on him at http://espn.go.com/sportscentury/features/00014066.html .

I wasn't able to find a picture of the Ford he raced in the 67 Daytona 500.

By the looks of some other sites I stumbled across... I'd have to say that LeMans is the direction Mario is looking.

Good job! Yep it's Le Mans. I hope he runs again this year.

How about part two to this...

Who was the first driver to race in an IndyCar race and NASCAR race both in the same day?

John Andretti. Or was it Robby Gordon? No, I think it was Andretti.

And Tony Stewart was the last one to do it.

Nigel Mansell?..I guess it depends on what World championship you're talking about

Nigel Mansel? I don't ever remember him racing NASCAR.

Indy 500: Indycar/CART (depends on timeframe)
Daytona 500: NASCAR
And by "World Championship" he means F1.

Nigel may have done two of those.. but he didn't do all three.

I would guess it is an F1 car but I have no idea which one. It sounds very nice.

Man I wish I could find a recording of a Ford GT-40 Mk II that nice. Thx for posting it. COOL!

I think Nigel would have been PERFECT for NASCAR actually. Beer-bellied drivers throwing helmets - it's right up his alley.
