John will be racing in the Indy 500 this coming Sunday and I'm sure this will wear heavily on him. I hope he does well, but it's been since 1995 that he's raced that race.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to see him win the race and dedicate it to his Grandfather.

That would be great, but I don't see it happen. John is not in one of the top cars...I believe it's one of AJ Foyt's backup cars.
