    Dario Franchitti walked away from Indy-car racing three years ago never intending to return. In coming back, he has driven into the company of legends, even if he won't admit it.

    Sunday's victory in the 94th Indianapolis 500 was his second in four years, making him the 17th driver to claim multiple victories in the event.

    With Izod IndyCar Series championships on either side of his brief foray into NASCAR, Franchitti can be placed among the elite of U.S. open-wheel racing, on par with the late Bill Vukovich, Rodger Ward, Emerson Fittipaldi and Al Unser Jr., to name a few of the two-time winners.
