Dario Franchitti Interview

Dario Franchitti’s Truck Series debut at St. Petersburg with Jimmie Johnson as his crew chief highlights one of the most fascinating motorsports stories of the weekend, as the four-time INDYCAR champion explains why he returned to racing, his competitive drive, the experience of piloting a completely different vehicle, and what continues to motivate him in motorsports today. On this episode of SPEED with Harvick and Buxton, Will Buxton sits down with Franchitti to discuss why he decided to enter the Truck Series race at St. Petersburg, how the opportunity with Jimmie Johnson came together, the competitive fire that pushed him back behind the wheel, the many different types of race cars he has driven throughout his career, and why Chip Ganassi Racing has remained one of the most successful organizations in motorsports as Franchitti now serves as an advisor to the team.
