Recently, Dario Franchitti announced that he was retiring from racing Indy cars. This was a sad day for us Dario Franchitti fans who have watched him race since he came to the United States in 1997.
Dario, won the Indy 500 in 2007, 2010 and 2012. He won the IRL championship in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The injuries Dario sustained in the crash in Houston this past year have forced him to retire from driving Indy cars. Luckily, he is still with us because if you saw that crash, it is amazing he survived.
I have spent most of my Saturday morning here going through photos of Dario from 1997 to 2013, so we have a lot of photographs today! These are just from my digital collection and do not include any of my film from Dario's CART days! Sometime soon, I will scan those photos and do another blog on Dario.
One of my other favorite racers that I got to know a little bit was Greg Moore who was one of Dario's best friends. Dario has a Greg Moore helmet sticker on the back of his helmet in memory of our friend who we lost in 1999. A while back, I did a blog on Greg and Dario sent me a little note saying that he liked it.
Dario is one of the good guys and has always been real nice to me. Thanks Dario and I wish you the best in your retirement days. I feel that I have not seen the last of you and I think you will still be strolling along pit lane at the track with our friends!
Enjoy the photos folks and have a great holiday with your families!

My good friends, The Familiar Looking Strangers, have headed back home to Liverpool, England for the holidays.
Their album is done and coming out in March 2014 when they will start touring with the band Hawkwind.
You guys have worn out my Nikon and I have sent it away to get repaired and ready for your next visit!
The Strangers played a few dates here recently with Phil Vasser who is one of the nicest guys and hardest workers in the music industry!
In 2009 at Summerfest, Phil stayed around for every last person at a meet and greet, signing anything and everything plus taking photos with his fans! That is the way it is supposed to be, right?
Enjoy some photos of Phil from Summerfest here in Milwaukee back in 2009.
Please join me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography and have a great week.
Thanks,
Rich
