Michael Andretti will run at Indy

The co-owner of Andretti Green Racing and past Champ Car champion will test his skill again at the Indianapolis 500. Michael Andretti has never won the Indianapolis 500. He did finish second (1991) once and last year finished third directly behind his son Marco Andretti.

Michael Andretti retired from full-time racing three years ago, but came out of retirement for one race last season and had a strong showing. This season Marco, Michael, and Danica Patrick will all be driving for Andretti Green Racing after finishing second, third, and fourth respectively in 2006.

The List: Best American Non-NASCAR Drivers (SI/CNN)

Here's a top 10 List published by Sports Illustrated and CNN of the Best American Non-NASCAR Drivers.

1. John Force -- NHRA
2. Sam Hornish Jr. -- IRL
3. Marco Andretti -- IRL
4. Steve Kinser -- World of Outlaws
5. Kenny Bernstein -- NHRA
6. Tony Schumacher -- NHRA
7. Michael Andretti -- IRL
8. Scott Speed -- Formula One
9. Gary Scelzi -- NHRA
10. Danica Patrick -- IRL

Editor's note: I'm right there with them on a couple, but I question others. Sam Hornish Jr. and Steve Kinser, no question, they've been completely dominant throughout their careers. I'm not a big fan of drag racing, but John Force and Kenny Bernstein have seen similar dominance. I know Michael Andretti is planning to run Indy, but this list looks like to me a list of active drivers and I don't consider one race a year as active. Marco Andretti, Scott Speed and Danica Patrick are all young and talented, but besides being great marketing commodities, all of them are unproven as of now.

Let's hear your arguments, or maybe even another top 10 list.

Perhaps the top 10 "best Americans of all time" or maybe a top 10 non-NASCAR list that includes foreign drivers running in American series.

One last thought, where it is Boris Said? I know he's part time NASCAR, but as I remember Steve Kinser has been behind the wheel of a NASCAR vehicle on a few occasions.
