This morning’s USA-Russia Men’s Hockey game in the Sochi Winter Olympics was crazy.
And its draw included those in the racing world, including the one and only racing legend, Mario Andretti.
Andretti tweeted at the start and then after the game, when T.J. Oshie’s final goal went in during the shootout to deliver the USA a victory 3-2 over the Russians.
The tension on the ice is also in my living room. I’m watching this game with all of you USA v RUS on @NBCSN

Not the first time Andretti’s used the word “amazeballs” in a tweet, either.
Some of the other tweets from those in the racing world watching the game include…
Boy, what a way to win a gold.Talk about suspense,. Who’d be a goalie? All gripping stuff.
