True, Ralf Schumacher's first Formula One win was at the 2001 San Marino Grand Prix, driving a Williams-BMW. However, his first podium finish was at the 1997 Argentine Grand Prix, when he finished third in a Jordan-Peugeot. \nJacques Villeneuve, driving a Williams- Renault won the race, followed by the Ferrari of Eddie Irvine.

Only for the last decade of his life, when he reached the very top.\n\nBefore then, he had lots of different numbers - after all, he did race for a very long time!   He started racing at the age of 17 (in 1968), and raced until he retired in 1981.   It was really only in the '70s that he used No. 7

Some have driven in the Indy Racing League (Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon, John Andretti, etc.)\n\nNone have ever driven a Formula One race. Jeff Gordon did, however, drive Juan Pablo Montoya's car at Indy for a publicity thingy....but not for a real race.

The most saves by a rookie was 37 by Kazuhiro Sasaki of the Seattle Mariners in 2000.\n(Todd Worrell has the most by a rookie in the NL with 36 for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1986)

Seems to me there was some kind of incident with the Safety Car a few years back.  Sorry, I don't remember what it was, or where it happened.   The 1971 Indy 500 Pace Car certainly comes to mind though, plowing into a Grandstand causing numerous serious injuries.

Richard Petty won 200 races and was the first to win 7 championships. Dale Earhart Sr. also won 7 championships but sadly will win no more.

Tricky..\n\nNextel Cup: Tony Stewart\n\nWinston Cup:  No longer exists, now know as the Sprit/Nextel cup.\n\nIndy: Dan Wheldon was the points winner and the Indy  500 winner.

Probably after the first week of practice for the Indianapolis 500. The Panoz chassis was reasonably competitive during practice and qualifying for the season-opening race at Homestead (the team withdrew from the race because of the death of Paul Dana) and at the other two IRL races, St. Petersburg and Twin Ring Motegi.\nStill, I wouldn't be surprised if the team switches to the Dallara chassis, for at least one driver as the season progresses.

I would say Earnhardt sr. and the King Richard Petty are probably the most well known drivers. I don't know that Sr. would have reached Petty's records or not...he was getting close to retirement when he was killed. But I would say there are many drivers that have went unrecognized.

I don't believe so.  I know that Earnhardt won in his second season, but I don't think a rookie, excluding the first ever season, won a championship.
