Timberlake, 30, founded William Rast with his childhood best friend Trace Ayala in 2006. The line is best known for its premium jeans, but also produces other clothing items such as jackets and tops. The company's name comes from a combination of Timberlake and Ayala's grandfather's names.

    @Joannegodfrey I totally agree with you that driver was just in the right place at the right time. sponsoring a car and owning a team thats racing in the Indy 500 a two different things ask Melissa Newman her dad Paul's team made it to Indy many times and never won

    Wheldon won by chance - he was 2nd when the lead car, driven by Hildebrand, crashed in turn 4 just short of the finish line...he did not 'beat out' 32 other drivers, he happened to be in the right spot at the right time. He never led the race until that moment. Surprisingly, Hildebrand placed 2nd. Please be more complete in your reporting US, but, then again, what did I expect...
