Judd's husband, Dario Franchitti, became the 66th winner of the Indianapolis 500 in a rain-soaked event that boiled down to pit strategy, giving him an advantage over Penske, Target Ghip Ganassi and other drivers in the field.
The Scot's spousal cheerleader, who credits him for helping her overcome depression, was overwhelmed with pride and joy following the win:
"I'd like to point out that my husband went from 14th to first like a gentleman and that's exactly what he is - a gentleman ... He raced like a gentleman, picked 'em off one by one, and won in style."Indeed he did. And she totally "gets" it.
But after six Indy 500 starts, Franchiiti still doesn't fully grasp the magnitude of his accomplishment:
"I can't believe it ... this is the Indy 500 and I think I've got half an idea of what it means to win now."
Maybe his better half and/or Andretti team owners can explain it to him.91st Indianapolis 500 Results

Is this couple expecting? I'm not looking to start any pregnancy rumors, but when Judd was climbing over the wall, she did look like she was carrying a lil' something extra around her middle ... and she's not the pudgy one in her family.
She did have an extra special "glow," too. Or was that just the champagne?
