AT NEW ORLEANS' camp in Hammond, the Saints were taking a close look at their defensive backs in an effort to reverse a trend that saw opponents convert 42 percent of their third downs last season.

"My helmet strap broke and there's absolutely no way you can drive even 100 miles around this place without one," declared Rahal, not knowing young Andretti had done that very thing. "Once I got the neck brace fixed it was no problem, but that really hurt us. "When you're three laps down like we were, you have tc go like hell all the time and we didn't have liberty of any yellows to make up the difference." Danny Sullivan came home fourth, -two laps down. In the Miller American March 86C1I-mor-Chevy, while Arie Luyendyk was fifth In the Living WellPro-vlml MarchCosworth three laps behind.
