Castroneves, Franchitti chase 4th Indy 500 win

Helio Castroneves believes plenty of today's IndyCar fans have never seen a driver win the Indianapolis 500 for a record-tying fourth time.

He can change that on Sunday. So could Dario Franchitti.

It's been 22 years since Rick Mears became the third driver with four Indy 500 victories. He won No. 4 in 1991 to join AJ Foyt and Al Unser in the exclusive club.

This will be the first time since 1987 that two three-time winners will start the Indy 500.
