DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jacques Villeneuve is just happy to be here, an odd yet understandable position decades after his Indianapolis 500 win and Formula One title.
A run during Sunday’s sold-out Daytona 500 is a bucket list item for the 50-year-old Canadian racer to cross off.
“At this point in my career, just to make the show is incredible,” said Villeneuve, who posted the fastest time of the six cars eligible in Wednesday’s time trials.
