	Eddie Cheever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Cheever participated in 132 Formula One races, more than any other American, driving for nine different teams from 1978 through 1989.
		Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Cheever lived in Rome as a child and was introduced to motorsports at age eight when his father took him to a sports car race in Monza, Italy.
		Cheever drove well in support of team number one Prost, earning four more podiums and 22 Championship points, but the team's disappointment after losing both the Driver's and Constructor's titles late in the season brought about the replacement of both Cheever and Prost.

		On the other side of Arie is Eddie Cheever, the 1998 Indianapolis 500 champion, who is also distinguishable in the fact that he has been a driver/owner in the series now for seven years.
		CHEEVER: I think they both put in words very eloquently, it's -- if you spend your life driving race cars, and you have a passion for this, it is always nice when it's all said and done and you're no longer racing, that you won an event like Indianapolis 500.
		CHEEVER: I did what Arie did, I was in a bus during the tourist thing, it was a rainy afternoon, I was the only guy on the bus, and there were spin marks and -- spin marks and marks on the wall.

	8W - Who? - Eddie Cheever
		Eddie Cheever is just another one of them, with the exception that Eddie isn't one of those "damned Europeans" stealing the Americans' thunder.
		Eddie's younger brother Ross had a similar un-American career, ending up in Japan, where he became a mainstay of the local scene (here seen driving F3000 Reynards at Sugo in 1991 and Suzuka in 1994) before he disappeared into nothingness, while the elder Cheever is still around today.
		Cheever's one-off opportunity came when Tambay was sidelined for the US GP at Detroit because of a crash in the previous race at Montreal (in the warm-up lap, actually!).

		He was plain “Eddie Cheever” when he raced in Europe, and he sounded almost like an Italian with an American accent.
		From the beginning, Cheever was always among the fittest of the F1 drivers, concentrating on it before it was considered truly essential, and no surprise there, for health studios and clubs had long been the family business.
		Still, Cheever considered F1 unfinished business, and when the chance arose to return, with Arrows in 1987, he took it, even though he was all too aware that this was a middle-order team, at best.
