Fast… not the word you would use to describe Congress, but last week was a little different. I had the honor to meet and talk with racing legend Mario Andretti. For those of you who don’t know who he is, and to name just a few of his accomplishments, Mario won the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500, and the Indy Car National Championship four times, and he’s the only American to ever become Formula One Champion. For a kid from North Carolina who loved racing at every level, meeting Mario Andretti was a bucket list moment.
