LONG POND, Pa. Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Nere . - Mario Andretti wants one more race, family style. At 73, Andretti has been long retired from racing, and one of open wheels all-time greats hasnt turned a competitive lap since a spectacular crash during practice for the 2003 Indianapolis 500. Andretti, though, hasnt completely put the idea of one final race out of his mind. Hes serious when he says he wants to team up with son, Michael, and grandson, Marco, for an endurance race like the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona or 24 Hours of Le Mans. "Id do it," Mario Andretti said. "Theres no point in me coming back unless theres a compelling a reason." And theres no more compelling reason than family ties on the track. Dont start dreaming of the greatest comeback in motor sports just yet. Theres one big hitch. "Marco would do it. Michael doesnt want to do it," Mario said. "Hes much younger than I am and he says hes too old. You figure that out. But if I can convince Michael to do it, Ill do it. I would. I still have the competitive spirit, which is good." His grandfathers dream of an Andretti reunion seemed like fun for 26-year-old Marco, who posted fast practice times this week at Pocono Raceway. The third-generation driver said Mario would be "up to the task," of becoming a tag-team partner in the annual races. "He would start and finish and dad and I would do all the brunt work," Marco Andretti said. Told Michael had balked, Marco hardly seemed surprised. "I think dad doesnt love it like me and my grandfather," he said. "He was just very good and he knew he was good. But I think hes really happy and content where hes at and hes doing a heck of a job there, too, as an owner." Mario Andretti won the Indianapolis 500 in 1969 and went on to a long, brilliant career before he retired from IndyCar in 1994. He last got behind the wheel for a lap in 2003 when he tested a car for Michael at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Andrettis car hit debris left when Kenny Bracks car hit the wall, sending his car flying through the air and flipping end over end. He walked away unhurt. "I figured, Im going to meet my creator. I didnt know which way I was going to go," he said. "But I was OK. It wasnt my fault. I was in my element. I was lucky as hell. I landed on the wheels and only got a scratch." But that was it for Andretti. Even though he won Indy and Michael has celebrated two 500 victories as an owner, the accident is just another part of the "Andretti Curse," that reigns at IMS. "They always have to talk about something," Mario said. "But weve had great times there, just tough times really finishing when we were dominating. Not only myself, Michael as well. Were we capable of winning multiple times? Damn right." Pocono, back on the IndyCar slate for the first time since 1989, is a hometown track for the Andrettis, who hail from nearby Nazareth. But Marios been commuting this week from his house near Lake Wallenpaupack, about an hour north of the track. Hes also keeping busy. Andretti voices a character in the upcoming movie "Turbo," the animated story of a snail with amazing speed who takes on the Indianapolis 500. While he no longer attends each race, he feels IndyCar can rival or top any series in the world when it comes to quality competition. Even if TV ratings and attendance can use a boost, the on-track product is as strong as ever. "Look at the quality of racing, just in the last two years," he said. "Its there. Its something you cant predict. When it happens, you just try to enjoy it. Its riveting." _____ Follow Dan Gelston at www.Twitter.com/APGelston Offerte Scarpe Nike Air Max 97 ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.

Geelongs miserly defence has proven adaptable this AFL season and Harry Taylor expects that to continue in the absence of Lachie Henderson.Henderson underwent knee surgery earlier this week and its unclear when he will be fit to return.It is a pre-finals blow to the Cats, who have conceded the least number of goals this season with the exception of ladder-leading Sydney.But its far from unchartered territory for Taylor and his fellow backmen, who host Melbourne in a crunch clash on Saturday.Henderson was knocked out in a round-17 win over Fremantle and missed the following two weeks, while he played forward in last Sundays 60-point win over Brisbane.Geelongs key-defender stocks were also depleted in a round-eight triumph over the Crows at Adelaide Oval, where Tom Lonergan was concussed in the opening minutes.Weve been able to mix and match and handle losing one of the tall guys pretty well so Im hopeful that will be the case for this week and however long we dont have Lach, Taylor told AAP.Last week we adapted pretty well when he was in a different position.Weve got some guys who have been able to help throughout the season and Im sure theyll do the same.Cameron Guthrie has played a little bit more defence in recent weeks and Tommy Ruuggles has played a fair bit there now.

It stung for a long time. Im sure all the guys whove played a lot of footy with him (Enright) remember that day and how much it hurt, he said.But weve got a really different team now.
