Sounds like there's little chance of an oval seeing the light of day in t=
he
'old dart'.

Nigel's performance was interesting.  In the first year he obviously
enjoyed a benefit from Michael Andretti's setups.  This gradually waned
during the year but not by enough to stop him winning the series.  In the=

second year he just never moved forward, while everybody else did.  The
Euros have always castigated Michael - perhaps with some reason for his F=
1
performance - but I've always rated him in Indycars.
