One of my favorite race cars ever--the Mario Andretti Brawner/Hawk STP #2 (1969 Indy 500 winning car)--lives on in the form of Rob Leiser's beautiful soapbox derby racer.

WOW! That creation is amazing!  Love the color, numerals detail.  "STP, The Racer's Edge". As Mario did in 1969, did it win today?  Thanks for sharing this, Jack.

Greg: The Andretti Brawner-Hawk finished second yesterday to his teammate. I think he won the last time they held a Nazareth Soapbox Derby about 11 or 12 years ago. As far as I recall, Mario himself was there that day many years ago to wave the checkered flag for all the races there that day and he autographed the Brawner-Hawk replica at that race. His autograph is still on the derby racer.

Now that is really cool. Looks like it has some good speed too.
