“I never felt I won anything before I had actually won it, except one time,” says 1999 Indianapolis 500 winner Kenny Brack, “and that was when I made the comeback to Indy in 2005.”
Brack had broken both ankles, a leg, his sternum and back in the 2003 Indy Racing League crash at Texas that appeared to have ended his career. But when his replacement at Rahal Letterman Racing, the 2004 Indy winner Buddy Rice, suffered a concussion and a partially torn spinal ligament in his neck in a practice crash ahead of the 2005 race, it was Brack who made a heroic return.
