[net.sport] Emerson Fittipaldi

Yesterday (07/28), Emerson Fittipaldi of Brazil won the CART
Michigan 500.  That made me curious:  before Emmo's win, who was the
last non-US-citizen to win a CART/USAC championship race?
My guess is Teo Fabi at Phoenix in 1983.
Before Fabi????????????

Please send mail and I'll post a summary.

According to the highest authorities (net posters, who else?), the list
of non-American USAC/CART winners looks like this:

Jacques Villeneuve: 1984, Road America(?), the week after Emmo
Emerson Fittipaldi: 1984, Michigan 500
Teo Fabi:           1983, 4 races
Hector Rebacque:    1982, Elkhart Lake
Graham Hill:        1966, Indy 500

Thanks to the replies.
