" We first met Eddie Cheever Jr. at Monza in 1978 when he was a kid just making his mark in racing. So we were delighted when we met the former Formula 1 driver and winner of the 1998 Indianapolis 500 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last weekend and he told us his son, Eddie III, is leading the Italian Formula 23 series.  Driving a F308 Dallara\u2013the same chassis maker as his dad&amp;#039;s winning Indy car\u2013the 19-year-old has a 3-point lead in the series after six of the eight events in the season. Cheever&amp;#039;s latest win came at Imola driving for Prema Powerteam, the same group that American and current Indycar driver Charlie Kimball raced with in Europe in 2008. Incidentally last year&amp;#039;s runner-up in the Italian F3 championship was American Michael Lewis driving for the same team. Like his father, Eddie III has grown up on Italy...will he one-day make the move to race in the U.S.? No related posts. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
