Citizen Kate gets tips on winning the presidential race from AJ Foyt, the first four time Indy 500 winner, and his team’s Indy 500 driver, Darren Manning.
I can't believe that I spent the day with the AJ Foyt Racing Team at the Indy 500 Speedway. I learned firsthand tips for winning from the legendary AJ Foyt and the super cute British racer, Darren Manning. Manning showed off his patriotic colors and revealed who he thinks will win the Hillary-Barack race to the White House. Of course, he's used to being ruled by a queen so that could factor into his prediction.
AJ Foyt shared his thoughts with me on what it takes to be a great leader. I even got to spend time with the crew in the pit during practice. My prediction: Darren Manning will win the Indy 500...if the race is judged on looks. The whole AJ Foyt Racing Team is super cute, and I got to hug them all. I should spend more time at the Indy Speedway. Seriously.
Good luck, Darren! I'm rooting for you.
Note to self: Political campaigns are like race car driving. It takes more than one lap around the track to really get going and win.
(Since I posted this. Darren took 9th in the 2008 Indy 500. That’s in the top 10 and super awesome! Congrats!)
