I've had people ask me if Dick Trickle was real or if this shirt (of his 1999 Busch Series car) is a joke, and I delight in telling them not only was he real but perhaps the most successful short track driver of all time with over a 1,000 feature wins in his career.

Enzo Fittipaldi kind of lucked into the Indy NXT win this year, his second in his rookie campaign. However, that doesn't mean he isn't a damn good driver, outside of an incident in one race he's finished in the top 4 in every other event. Given how much sponsorship money might want to associate themselves with a Fittipaldi with promise, I could absolutely see him hooking up with a team like Juncos-Hollinger or Coyne who are not unfriendly to drivers that bring a solid budget behind them.

He was smart to follow the example of Dennis Hauger and run a year in Indy NXT from F2 instead of trying to jump straight into an #indycar because it is developing him for these types of cars and making all the car owners out there see just how promising his talents are rather than blindly jumping into the top level and hoping for the best.
