D.J. Ruppert, winning Indy 500 gas man  

Pretty cool to see DJ during the pit stop challenge, which the Newgarden Team won, and then seeing him kissing the bricks after this years Indy 500 win, with I think Roger Penske right next to him. 

I met DJ when he was attending Mercer County Vo-Tech Automotive Technology program.  He and a teamate won a Automotive Diagnostic competition, and he then chose to attend the Nascar Institute of Technology in Mooresville NC, which is part of the Universal Technical Institute (UTI family of schools.)  I'm not sure but I think he was doing something intially with one of the Penske Nascar teams (like I said... I'm not totally sure), but when I saw DJ's Uncle (Rocco Infante) about 2 years ago, he told me that DJ was now the gasman on Newgarden's Indycar.

Pretty cool.
