Ashley Judd spent another day at the races on Saturday in Fort Worth watching her husband, three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti, compete in the Firestone 550.

Talking on her mother, Naomi Judd's, Sirius XM radio show, which kicked off Friday morning, Ashley said she's "annoyingly proud" of her hubby. "The reality is winning the Indianapolis 500 is almost an impossibility. I think finishing the race is in and of itself something a lot of drivers never have the opportunity to do. To win it once is life changing. To win it three times ... is just this unspeakable achievement."

The three-time Indy 500 champ didn't pull off a win this time, though. He nearly crashed in the fourth turn and pulled off for a pit stop. The move cost him two laps.
